When you're really stressed, your body thinks it's in danger. It sends out a special message that makes your muscles tense up, and sometimes that tension turns into cramps. Imagine your stomach is like a tight rubber band; if it gets too stretched or squeezed, poof, there goes the cramp!
Examples
- You're giving a speech and feel your stomach twist like it's being squeezed by invisible hands.
- Your best friend forgets your birthday, and you get cramps before even telling them.
- You’re stuck in traffic for an hour and suddenly feel your tummy cramp up.
