Eli5: Why does anger feel “hot”?
In: Biology
Extreme anger can trigger a physical response that results in dilated blood vessels. Among other things, this will bring more blood to the surface of your body/skin. This increase in blood causes increased warmth and heat on your skin making you feel “hot.”
It’s like when you get embarrassed and blush and your face turns red and warm, except with anger it’s your entire body having that response.
