A member asked:
Why do my hands go numb whenever i'm nervous and i get stomach aches the whole time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flight or fight : When you feel threatened, you respond by reducing blood flow to the extremities, hands and feet and digestive system so that your muscles get increased blood flow to prepare for fighting or running away. This is a primitive response system that occurs automatically.
