Are emotional feelings connected with physical feelings? Do you also experience chest pains when you're broken-hearted?
Why is it so hard to breathe?
I don't know what this is. It always happens when I think of her, I miss her, or she's in my mind. It always does when I'm anxious about this one person.
I can't breathe well. And it is as if there's a block in my chest, a numbing pain. I used to just ignore this. But the pain somehow increased, and it's undeniably there. The pain is at the center, and the numbness surrounding it, all in my chest. Not just a feeling. But physical, literal pain. do you know what this is? Is this just anxiety? Maybe depression? well, we got history of asthma. Other factors are I drink a lot of coffee and tea, but I had always been doing that. I also sleep late, but I've been sleeping late ever since.
Do you experience something like this too? When you're emotionally broken? Why does it always happen only when I'm emotionally broken? Is there a connection?
If only this pain would kill me, that would be incredibly great.

Yes. I get these feelings of chest pain and heart squeesing when my heart is broken. And when in an advanced level of emotional pain, i get body and muschles pains including numbness in body and sometimes in my brains as well! It usually happens when in denial of events I didnt want to happen! I used herbal anti-depressants pills or drinks like camomille etc, as i dont want to get used to anti-depressants having side effects that would make u feel worst later. Intake of cafeine, like coffee, tea, coke, etc.. increase the anxiety and rate of hearbeats and symptoms of chest pain. therefore i advise u to lower them. Its very good to talk to friends about how ure feeling and lift the burden of ur pain for ur own. At one point u have to decide that u dont like how ure feeling and u have to do soemthing about it. Google as many articles as u can find about how u can help urself to get over it. Decide that u are going to work on it. It will get better in time. I swear it will! Whatever it is right now, its all in ur head. Have faith that when god closes one door, he will soon open 10 other. Once u are ready to see the other doors.

It might seem hard to beleive, but you'll miss these feelings as you get older and more cynical about the world.

I feel the fusion of both physical and emotional pain daily. It's because I carry two arrows of sorrow and loss in my heart and chest everyday. One, is of the loss of my mother, the other of the loss of my grandmother, both of which I mourn and worship for everyday.
It would be easier to just push them through and forget the pain, but instead I broke them off at the entry point and leave the piercing tips deep inside. I never want to forget just how much they both loved me and cared for me during the time they were here on earth. The fusion of that I feel sometimes make me breakdown and cry. I weep deep down inside because I miss them and their love for me.
But it's the this fusion of both physical and emotional pain that helps me to see that what they gave to me will guide me through to the end of my years with the happiness of knowing that they will both be waiting for me to take this pain away forever...

the mind/body connection is very real . sometimes emotional issues manifest in the physical, but at other times it just SEEMS as though they do. yet no real physical problem exists. I've had pain associated with a broken heart, real and intence. but I found that often the pain was there because it was just being stored in there without being released. there are times when a really good cry would release they pain, but often there were issues that had to be dealt with before the pain would go, and stay gone. you might need a really good councelor you trust to work thru your issues and to lean on. I had my husband and the Lord help me, and guide me.

Physical pain always increases if you're in psychological pain but judging from the severity of your case you might wanna go to a doctor to see if there's anything physically wrong with you or to prescribe some anti-depressants
