Broken heart: The heart is an emotional organ -- interesting right? But it's true -- you can actually have the heart pain - angina pectoris - with emotional stress -- the broken heart syndrome! so being content and at peace is good for your health :)).

Possibly anxiety: Crying is a normal emotion just like laughing but since it usually happens when you are distressed, you can have similar body reactions that you would have when you are anxious - chest pain, racing hear, dizziness, shortness of breath, etc.
