Physical Symptoms Occurring with Pleasurable Emotional States
Abstract
Eight cases of physical symptoms occurring during pleasurable emotional states are reported and discussed. Although physical activity accompanying these emotions may account for some of the physical symptoms occurring during pleasure, in other instances there was no accompanying physical activity. It seems likely that in some predisposed persons any strong emotion, whether positive or negative, may precipitate physical symptoms. Physical symptoms with positive emotional states probably occur much more often than is generally recognized.
