A member asked:
What causes that stinging feeling in your chest ("heart") that is felt during great sadness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broken heart: I don't think anyone can tell you exactly why some people feel it in that location but maybe that's where the saying comes from of a "broken heart". Sadness can be felt in many areas and i think that's an area we hold to be close to our soul. I hope to get over your sadness. Best wishes.
