Since every coin has two sides, this also has the same. After you fall out of a relationship, you feel utmost pain. The pain is largely felt in the heart. It does have a scientific explanation to it. Similar kinds of emotions are triggered after a closed one’s demise. The separation can make a person very unhappy. This is referred to as heartbreak in general language. All such pains are more or less related and of come with a scientific explanation.
According to scientific reports, there is a physiological explanation for why heartbreak can be such a painful experience and symptoms aren’t just in the mind, said Dr. Deborah Lee, a medical writer for the Dr. Fox Online Pharmacy in England.
“When you fall in love, there is a natural outpouring of hormones. These include the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin and the ‘feel-good’ hormone dopamine,” she said. “But when you fall out of love, levels of oxytocin and dopamine drop, while at the same time, there is an increase in levels of one of the hormones responsible for stress – cortisol,” Dr. Lee explained.
The medical expert claims that these elevated cortisol levels can play a role in illnesses like high blood pressure, weight gain, acne, and elevated anxiety. According to her, social rejection, such as splitting up with a spouse, also triggers brain regions linked to physical pain.
