Pain In The Hand When Mentally Upset. Reason?

Everytime my feeling get hurt by someone the palm of my hand begins to get a sharp pain, more along the crease of the thumb area, and only on my right hand. The pain is so bad that I have to massage my palm, but I happens every time someone hurts my feeling! I find it so weird, but it's been like that since I can remember!

Hi,
Thanks for using health care magic.

Sharp pain over the thumb occurring while in stress is common somatic symptoms of stress.

Different persons react differently while in stress depending upon so many factors including genetic vulnerability. Your center of stress reaction might be around your hand.

You should develop cope up mechanism to handle stress by doing yoga, meditation or breathing exercise.

You can also consult counselor for better control of stress.
Thanks.
