Do you ever get like, a really horrible stomach ache when you're either really excited or really happy?

Annoying as all heck. I've been pretty excited about getting my first multi-chapter fiction in YEARS up, and actually knowing where it's going, and to add to that excitement, the response on it had been crazy. My box is getting filled up with reviews and mostly private PM's saying they love it, and I AM very proud of it, but damn.

So it's not too bad, and I didn't make this blog to complain. Only to make an interesting observation...

I googled, in as many different phrases as possible, what causes stomach pains when you're excited. And I mean the scientific reason, meaning "hormones" is not an answer. I understand hormones are a chemical that can upset the stomach, but why doesn't anyone have a scientific explanation to why? Do hormones spill over certain organs and eat slightly at the mucus like stomach acid? Does the tummy recognize hormones as an intruder instead of a part of the body?

Then I realized that I'm a nerd for wondering in the first place. *sigh*
