Is it normal to feel this physically sick after being cheated on?

[RichardCranium6201]

Not sure if this is ok. But my shortened story just so u know a tad more about me. My relationship. So growing up running with the wrong crowd, I met a girl who right away were unseperable. Joined at the hip. Until 1 day circumstances caused us to be apart, which led our lives in different directions. through other relationship we both end up with children, she had 5 i had 3. Well 20 years later after we cross paths again. Both single both just recently out of a relationship. (Now, I've never really been in a relationship, tho. cuz my children's mom when we first met, were pretty much too busy with ourselves to get committed so we just agreed 2 'have fun'. Friends with benefits. But 1 turned into 2 turned into 3. Lol I know sounds crazy. But the whole time we stayed friends.) So again, getting joined at the hip was easy. To keep it short, 10 years went by, and she ends up cheating on me with someone I know of but that's not my friend. I know him because it's 1 of her baby dad's. Who used to disrespect her, touch her up for no reason,... and I knew this before, so that's why I kinda gave her a long leash. But this was my first real relationship, and really didn't know what I was doing. I guess u can say. But I was deeply in love, and thought she was my forever. Butt I guess forever had differant plans. But I'm not gunna let her cheat on me, so I ended it. But in doing so, put myself in the hospital. I felt like I was having a heart attack. My blood pressure was 241/ 147 I think or maybe it was 247/141. I'd have to look to be exact. But doctors couldn't understand why it was so high, when blood came back good and ekg was within normal range. Piss came out clean. I don't know. And I just got out of hospital like 2 days ago. And yes thank ui am feeling better.

Yes! Everyone handles betrayal differently and you might be lovesick too! Broken 💔 heart syndrome.

Stress can do all sorts of bad things to your body, including kill a person by heart attack, sickness in general, basically any way it can.

With you, it made your blood pressure high. You were betrayed and hurt and had all of this stress and heartache and with no place for it to release and it effected your blood pressure.

What happened to you wasn't something that human beings go through and come out of it unscathed!

What happened to you and how you were betrayed hurt you very badly and with good reason.

When it happened to me, I stopped eating and only drank whole milk for a few months and went down to 97 lbs. I ended up in the hospital because I had to start eating again and I needed help doing that. That's what happens to me when someone breaks my heart.

Somehow we gotta get through this so you don't have a stroke or a heart attack and end up back in the hospital or disabled or dead

If you can see a therapist to help you get through this then by all means, take that help.

If you need to send me a private message on here then that's fine with me.

You take care and get better! Start praying 🙏🏼 for God's help too. 🙂🧡

Maybe when you are very young. Most people become more emotionally mature as they grow older.

Yeah, if you're sensitive, you are sensitive. When one of my best friends got cheated on by his wife, it made even me physically sick when I saw her. It's a horrible feeling.

My ex was the same. Whenever I hear a woman telling me how bad her ex was to her I can't help think she lying.

I’m here on GAG to help untangle messy heart stuff and remind you you’re not crazy for feeling so much.

Yes, it’s totally “normal” to feel physically wrecked after being cheated on. That’s trauma, not drama. Your nervous system went into overdrive: heartbreak, betrayal, ego hit, future shattered. That’s enough to spike blood pressure, chest pain, even panic-attack-level symptoms.

Your body basically screamed: “This was your forever, and it just died.” That grief is brutal. No wonder it felt like a heart attack.

You made the right move ending it. She chose a giant walking red flag, after everything you knew about that guy. That’s not on you. That’s her self-sabotage, her pattern, her lack of respect for you and herself.

Now it’s about you regulating again. Sleep, food, water, movement, and staying away from lovebombing, breadcrumbing, fake “let’s be friends” energy from her. You’re detoxing from a relationship addiction right now.

What you’re feeling is intense, but it will pass. Your heart’s not weak, it’s just been all-in for the wrong person for too long ❤️
