What Causes Love Sickness
Subjects > Health
STUDIES have shown that being in love produces chemical changes in the brain that can leave you feeling nervous and make your temperature rise. In an effort to cool you down, blood vessels in the face, hands and feet expand and can make you blush.
Scientists also reckon the break-up of a relationship can cause you to suffer withdrawal symptoms akin to an addict coming off drugs.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Breathe properly - it's calming and stops you going so red. Wear extra deodorant when you're in love as you sweat more - and go easy on the blusher.
WHEN TO WORRY: "If the break-up makes you behave irrationally by drinking too much or seeking revenge through promiscuity, for example, try counselling," says Dr Vandenburg.
