My left hand hurts when I cry?

[TheEmma]

Has his happened to anyone else? I feel like I should probably worry because I know that arm is connected to the heart, but I hate going to the doctor so I've never asked.

Does this happened to anyone else and do you know why? I've never talked about this with anyone.

It doesn't happen all the time. It's more like pulsations?

That isn't a whole lot of information to work with, but I will take a stab in the dark and say it is probably due to your blood pressure going up when you exhibit a strong emotion like sadness, and that may in turn be causing nerve stimulation by an arterial or venous expansion which would account for the pulsatile discomfort. If it were facial pain, I would say it would be cranial nerve VII short circuiting to cranial nerve V, but the distance would not be accounted for with your hand. I would say this is a benign issue, but if it makes you feel better, you could consult a physician.

Thank you!! And no it's just my hand, specially the upper part of my palm, right under the middle and ring finger. Thanks!!

[PtrickStmp]

I get exactly the same pain, whenever I cry.
I have no clue why I get it, but its just whenever I cry its always my left palm..
I'm assuming its the same as what you get so if it gets any worse I will use the advice provided above.
Thank you for adding this question!

It can be when you cry your emotions is up so your
left hand hurts cause it's the main arm and hand that
leads to your heart and your blood pressure rises too
Sadness or other strong emotions can of course result
in crying—a complicated nervous system function ranging
from tear-shedding to raised blood pressure.

[TheEmma]

Yeah my dad's family always struggled with high blood pressure. Could be that /:

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yes you could be. Also your blood pressure might be going higher than usual when you cry

[TheEmma]

Makes sense, I guess. I still can't believe it doesn't happen to anyone else here lol.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Well, got know that we have nerve endings that lead to the heart
so when you cry the nerve endings to left hand could be stirred up
from emotions so they could be happening. I have had so many issues
that deal with my nervous system that I'm no stranger to having strange
unusual things happen to me

[TheEmma]

Has this ever happened to you?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

I've had similar aches / pains
on my chest near my heart when
i cry or feel real emotional so yes

[TheEmma]

Ohhh that's interesting. The human body's weird af if you ask me.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yes it's weird but our emotions can
really do a number on us

[amybeelicious]

Um, if it happens EVERYTIME I would definitely get it checked out. I haven't had that happen before. I've had my eyes turn red or my voice run out from crying for so long but never hand issues..

[TheEmma]

I don't know if it happens EVERY time but it's happened enough times for me to notice. I don't cry that much but I'll try to pay attention.

[amybeelicious]

It sounds like you may be straining a nerve or something though. Doesn't sound life threatening. Now if it was your whole left side I'd say a stroke lol.

[TheEmma]

Hahaha yeah I would really worry then

[crazyincalifornia]

Which hand do you masturbate with?
That might be the real reason.
Try to cut down a few hours for a day or two.
HHH

[TheEmma]

Hahaha what?

[leticiamarques]

same! I can feel it whenever I'm about to cry. Can't believe it happens to other people
