Why do you for example get "butterflies" when you're nervous? Or when you really miss someone you have that weird feeling around your chest? I can understand the nerves one maybe, adrenaline? but why when you miss someone?

It's caused by stress and the release of endorphins. Not all stress is negative.

its wierd isnt it.... but your mind and your body are in some sort of harmony with each other, so when one is upset the other also feels it. that way, we learn to associate pain with a certain emotion, and learn to avoid it.
recently, when i get stressed my chest tightens up to the point that its painful to breathe. doctor prescribed me some beta blockers for anxiety, seem to be helping.

I thought this was going to be about psychosomatic effects, i.e. a hypochondriac worrying/ thinking/ believing something so much that it actually physically happens...now thats some crazy shit

yeah that and the opposite sort of thing with placebos actually working more than having nothing is weird, mind can make a difference on the rest of the body- both sets of my grandparents died within about a year or their partner dying

Which I've read can be attributed to your blood type. Anyone know if this is credible or not?

Actually, each women's cycle follows the most dominant in the group. Not that surprising when you consider other similar cycles in nature: moon/tides/seasons and how they work
