Can anger cause stomachache?

Anger may cause stomachache. There are sympathetic nerves, autonomic nerves, peripheral nerves and other tissues in the stomach of the human body. When angry, emotions will be more excited, which will easily lead to functional disorders in the local nervous system and increase the probability of stomach smooth muscle spasm, thus causing stomachache. If the patient has erosive gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases, the acid secretion gland will be affected by the increase of hormone level when angry, and it will secrete a large amount of gastric acid. When gastric acid stimulates the gastric mucosa, it will also cause stomachache. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, anger is easy to hurt the liver, and when liver qi invades the stomach, it will lead to liver and stomach disharmony, thus causing stomachache.
