What heartbreak does to you physically

The human brain loves love. Being in love takes the lid off the happy hormones, dopamine and oxytocin, and the brain bathes in the bliss. But when the one you love leaves, the supply of feel good hormones takes a dive and the brain releases stress hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.

1-YOUR MUSCLES: Your muscles swell up, which often lead to headaches, a stiff neck and strange feeling you experience in your chest as if it is squeezing.

2- YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM: The increase in stress hormone known as cortisol makes your immune system weak and vulnerable to bugs and several illnesses such as stomach pain or cramps, loss of appetite, diarrhoea etc

3- LONELINESS: Heart break can throw you into isolation or withdrawal, making you hard to function well. You physically ache for your ex, you can't get him or her out of your mind like a person suffering from sort of addiction. Break up is tough work for the brain.

4- STRONG EMOTIONAL PAIN: Break up can lead to strong emotional pain that might lead stroke, heart attack and sometimes insanity if it is too powerful for the mind to handle. It can trigger dangerous behaviour, habits, which in turn can lead to unforseen consequences or tragedy(revenge or violence, suicide, homicide or murder)

5- CHANGE IN BODY SYSTEM: Change in appetite, lack of motivation, weight loss or weight gain, overeating,body discomfort, mood swing, depression, anxiety,irritation, guilt and a general sense of being unwell.

3 Ways to cope and fight heart break

1- Share your thoughts with your friends and close understandable family that might help you to conquer your broken heart. Stay social avoid isolating yourself for quick recovery.

2- Ensure you eat well and exercise if you can to reduce the amount of stress hormone in your blood stream known as cortisol and boost your immune system to combat any unsuspecting illness. It worth the fight your life is more valuable than anything else.

3- Catch fun, watch any funny comedy kits or film in order to release the feel good chemical know as dopamine to kill the stress chemical known as cortisol. It will change your general well-being positively, you will be happy and be normal again.
