Just happens when I get emotional now. It used to be a precursor to tears but I have a really hard time crying so now I just get these achy stabs instead. What are they?

Mine does this because I have functional dyspepsia. Basically, there is nothing physically wrong, but I had a week in the hospital after eating bad sushi that left my whole gi system out of whack, and therefore could not communicate with my brain correctly. So for me, when I get a higher stress level, my gi tract is effected directly.

Stress also plays a huge part in physical reactions, more and more they are finding every year.
