Heartbreaks can be emotionally exhausting and traumatizing. They are terrible! It can be very difficult to recover from heartbreak, and it can scar people for prolonged periods of time. But, what many of us didn’t know is that our bodies also respond to heartbreaks. Here is what happens to your body when someone breaks your heart:
Physical pain
When someone breaks your heart it manifests itself in various forms and degrees of pain. Physical pain presents in various parts of the body. You can have headaches or even stomachaches. When you go through an extremely heartbreaking experience, you feel symptoms in your body. You feel the heartbreak in your body. You feel actual pain.
Heightened sensitivity
When someone breaks your heart you are more susceptible to pain and anguish. Even a little word can hurt you so much. You’re not typically vulnerable that much, but now you are more than ever before. Your heart can’t deal with extra stress, so you should try to stay away from negative things.
Hair loss
Once you’re going through heartbreak you can experience irregular hair loss. This is another dreadful result of heartbreak and the stressful experience.
Delayed menstrual periods
Stress leads to delayed menstrual periods. Your heartbreak alters your menstrual cycle in ways that no other stressful experience can’t.
Irregular Appetites
In extreme cases, heartbreaks result in weight loss, but it can also result in weight gain. Some of us refuse to eat because we lose our appetites and others choose to eat a lot of food. It depends on the kind of person we are. We are trying to mend our broken hearts differently.
