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'.

I've been experiencing this weird thing for the past four months. Every time the phone rings, I get so scared, and my heart starts racing really fast. It's freaking me out a bit. Could this be something serious, or is it just stress?
Your reaction to sudden stimuli like a phone ringing, causing your heart to beat rapidly, suggests heightened anxiety or a heightened startle response. This can be a common symptom of anxiety disorders. Addressing this requires a comprehensive approach that might include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to manage anxiety, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with effective strategies to manage these symptoms and reduce your overall anxiety.
