when to get help for a broken heart

When we get to a broken heart, why you feel really broken?
I'm curious. When sad things always happen, my heart feels heavy and tight. As is falling in the stomach, or is stuck in the throat. Is your mind playing tricks on you or what?
No. .. It is a real sense. I used to have both "pain" was actually used to it .. (long story there), but I found that when I was in treatment for depression and anxiety I was put on medication and never imagined that this feeling is lifted! I used to think that I would die of a heart problem of all headaches. After he left drugs .. no .. My system no longer reacted with the sensation of pain. I thought everyone who was as that .. I surprised when I saw that it was "normal" to bring a feeling or reaction as it so often as I did. Hope this helps.
