Is it possible to be "too happy"?

[Xenomit]

Last night, I received some absolutely amazing news, and I was so happy that I shook uncontrollably for about 40 minutes, and my face lit up so red that it was actually a little painful.

Since then, I've been so happy so constantly that my heart is actually worn out, and it wont stop beating so fast. Is it possible that I'm so happy that my body can't handle it?

You'd think I'd love the fact that I've been the happiest I've been in my entire life for the last 12 hours, but it's starting to get really painful.

Did you win the lottery or something?
Nonetheless, i'm envious.

[Earfetish]

Be careful - the higher they climb, the harder they fall! Once I was very happy because of a great job offer from a scumbag scammer essentially pulling the long firm scam; few months down the line, no more job and no income.

Also I echo Tom's post, it's the internet, no-one can hear you brag

[SubparTony]

I think I've never been too happy, probably because I try to be a bit cynical about good news.

[VJF]

Anyone receiving really good news should always prepare for a disaster in their immediate future. The Universe has a way of balancing itself out, and bad news inevitably follows good news.

[Confucianism]

It just means you need a way to let it all out. Like, onto someone else via contact.

is there anything that could have caused you to be happy like this?

He did say there was before anything else you know.

amazing news that caused a mechanical reaction of the heart to exist for more then 18 hours?
and this seems normal to you for news alone?

[Dew]

Sounds like crack to me.

I don't think it's normal, that's why I'm worried

I have tons of pre-existing heart conditions, and it's been painful for almost an hour now, if it keeps up I'm gonna go to the ER

I don't really know what I'll tell them though, I'm pretty sure "Too happy" isn't something they get a lot

Is it possible to be "too angry"?

did you take any medications or drink anything previous to your heart rate and resperations going up, what have you taken into your body since then, and what have you eaten in the last 3 days,
are there any other medical issues that they should be aware of?
have you been passing waste with by products normally in the last little bit,
are you experiencing any other kind of abnormalities for your body?

There is a gene that is located in over 80% of violent offenders that, combined with MAOA factors, that causes these offenders to commit violent acts and to be angry almost all the time.

Look up "warrior gene" and "murder gene" for more info.

going to the ER is no joke bud..
im asking you medical question that the intake nurse will also ask you, and you would be expected to answer them
so, you are making me worry about you

[Vinnyy]

Is it possible to be "too nervous"? I've had some cases where my stress level was so high that my heart was racing like hell. It was painful too.

[Piper]

I dunno. Let's see.

*ahem*
Everyone!

Give me all of your possessions and swear yourselves to be my personal slaves!

Scary stuff.

[Asandir]

Well, it's technically possible to be too "happy". In medieval times people were punished via goats who licked salt of their feet and caused them to literally laugh to their death. Anyhow, when you are aware of past heart problems and feel pain that bothers you then you should definitely go right now to the doctor. Congrats on the good news, though.

[Little-Kinky]

What's the news‽

[PotHeadParadise]

i see you smoked that kush

[kazumazkan]

I think no usually anger will get your heart pumping fast and its bad for you and as for happiness its genuinely good, do you a have a heart condition may thatbe a problem then again I don't see happiness giving people heart problems.

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

I remember when my dog had 5 puppies when I was 8; almost did a backflip

[Ocelot]

Go to the bathroom and masturbate yourself. You will feel much better, sweetie.

Or you can just ask me to relieve you.

[Entice]

I'm pretty fucking sure there's more to your tachycardia than being happy, so no you're not "too happy".
You should get your heart checked.

I've had heart problems for years, mostly dangerously irregular heartbeats along with some other stuff

But I'm telling you dude, every time I even think about it I get light headed, blush really hard, can't resist smiling, and my entire body gets loaded with energy, it's not out of the question that maybe a constant river of dopamine in my brain could have affected my heart rate

What I was saying was, if getting excited and happy like that is enough to affect your heart to a dangerous level then there's obviously something wrong with your heart and therefore it doesn't make sense to blame the problem on being happy.

Of course your heart is beating faster but that obviously wouldn't be dangerous to a normal person.
