Why do I get pleasure from pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Endorphins that are released in painful experiences are often perceived as pleasurable. Stress and pain can also stimulate the serotonin and melatonin production in the brain, which transforms painful experiences into pleasure. The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine in pain can also cause a pleasurable 'rush'.

View allI'm really curious about something that's been on my mind lately. I've had this habit of eating slate pencils or cardboard paper since I was younger. I'm 30 now and just had a baby, but recently, I've been having strong cravings for slate pencils again. Could you shed some light on why this might be happening and if there's anything I should be concerned about?
As you have given up on having slate Manu years ago , you should not be concerned much about it.Adequate water consumption,healthy diet , positive thoughts,daily physical activities will definitely help you.unlikely to affect your body systems after so many years.If at all your thoughts still bothering you ,get some blood investigation that includes CBC , renal function tests , thyroid function tests , electrolytes , calcium and phosphate levels, glucose level,liver function tests and urine analysis plus an ultrasound scan of the abdomen.

I'm really worried because my friend gave me a tablet of duralast 30 mg without telling me what it was for, saying it would help with my headache. I took it, but now I'm feeling really horny and anxious about any other side effects I might experience. Can you please help me understand what to expect? I'm kind of scared.
It's understandable to feel concerned, but taking Duralast (which contains dapoxetine) may cause some mild side effects like increased arousal, dizziness, or nausea. It's important to stay calm, and if you feel unwell or experience unusual symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. You should avoid taking any more of this medication without consulting a healthcare professional.
