Though I've tried to research this topic, not too much is to be found as to an answer for this feeling or what really happens in the body/mind to cause it. As a definition it is basically:
pang (png)
n.
1. A sudden sharp spasm of pain. See Synonyms at pain.
2. A sudden sharp feeling of emotional distress.
tr.v. panged, pang·ing, pangs
To cause to feel pangs; distress acutely.
The second definition is what best describes it for me. I get chronic panging though to the point where I have a stomach ache. And to me it's such a unique feeling. It can be good or bad. When it's good it's basically butterflies and when it's bad it has a connection to bad thoughts making it one of the worst feelings I've experienced.
As well as this I think it has something to do with the subconscious. For me, I get the pang (good or bad) and then start thinking things that follow that before anything else. As if something being said/done is first giving me a pang without any other thought.
It also may be important to note that I get this romantically... I think getting them to the severe extent may have something to do with my insecurity which is heightened when feeling close to someone. The pang is a feeling of confliction. The bad pang is usually result of something being said/done that may be very kind but then I feel as though I don't deserve it, or that maybe it's not meant, thus, a pang results.
Anyway, getting to the bottom of this feeling has been at the back of my mind a lot. I'm not really sure how it manifests itself neurologically or otherwise.
I'm sure that may other people get this feeling because it can have to do with many different contexts, but to what extent does everyone get this?
