Butterflies in the stomach?

What causes this all too familiar feeling when we’re nervous? Some chemical? What? Why?

Whether it is a pleasure response, momentary surprise or really deep upset or fear, I get butterflies sometimes. I always thought it was adrenaline in my bloodstream.

I always thought it was butterflies. :confused:

I always thought it is an adrenaline rush. I thought this because to me it feels very similar to how I feel after a crisis.

Here’s one answer…

Hey cool, my gut has a brain! Weird. Well, i wish it wouldn’t do the butterflies thing, it gets on my nerves. Get it? Nerves?

Oh i give up… lol :slight_smile:
