When a man is crazy about someone, his body is more honest than his mouth

When longing surges like a tide, the body often sends signals before language. Those subtle changes may not even be noticed by yourself.

1. Increased heart rate is not an illusion

1. Changes in heart rate

When missing someone, the sympathetic nervous system becomes active, causing the heart to beat 10-20 times per minute faster than usual. This physiological response is similar to the state during exercise, but the triggering factors are completely different.

2. Blood pressure fluctuations

An increase in adrenaline secretion can cause a brief rise in blood pressure, which may be accompanied by a slight sensation of facial fever and last for about 15-30 minutes.

3. Respiratory rate

In a state of deep longing, breathing will unconsciously become rapid, shallow, and fast, similar to the body's response to mild hypoxia.

2. The digestive system is very sensitive

1. Stomach reactions

Strong longing emotions can affect gastric acid secretion, and some people may feel mild colic in the stomach, while others may experience acid reflux symptoms.

2. Changes in Appetite

About 65% of people experience a decrease in appetite, while 35% experience a significant increase in appetite. This difference is related to how individuals cope with stress.

3. Intestinal peristalsis

Emotional fluctuations can affect the gut through the brain gut axis, which may cause mild diarrhea or constipation, usually resolving on its own within 24 hours.

3. Sleep quality is affected

1. Difficulty falling asleep

The area of the brain responsible for emotional processing remains active, resulting in a delay of 30-50 minutes in falling asleep compared to usual.

2. Fragmentation of sleep

reduces the duration of deep sleep, making it easier to wake up midway, and the entire night's sleep may be divided into 3-4 segments.

3. Dream frequency

Rapid eye movement sleep period is prolonged, and the probability of dream content being related to missing objects is increased by about 40%.

4. Changes in muscle state

1. Shoulder and neck tension

Unconsciously tense the body can cause sustained contraction of the trapezius muscle, resulting in a stiff feeling similar to a pillow.

2. Finger tremors

Fingertips may experience subtle tremors that are not easily noticeable, which is a manifestation of the nervous system's overreaction.

3. Lower limb weakness

Some people may feel heavy in their legs, but the actual muscle strength has not weakened, which is an error in the brain's perception of the limbs. These physiological reactions are temporary self-protection mechanisms that usually last for 3-7 days and gradually subside. If accompanied by persistent physical discomfort, it is recommended to regulate it through moderate exercise and regular sleep. Maintaining a balanced diet can also help stabilize emotions, for example, foods rich in tryptophan can promote serotonin secretion.
