When you’re sad why does your chest and stomach hurt/cramp?

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?

They may be psychosomatic symptoms. There is no established explanation what causes them (biologically). Basically, you are sad and that’s why your stomach hurts. You treat those symptoms psychologically as well, such as going to therapy for it (of they are bad). They are actually really fascinating because they show how much our mind and body are connected.
