Интересно, как с точки зрения физиологии объясняется боль в горле, которая появляется, когда сдерживаешь слезы?
В горле есть голосовая щель — отверстие, через которое воздух проходит из гортани в легкие. Обычно при глотании эта щель закрывается. Когда человек плачет или собирается заплакать, она пытается оставаться открытой, но вынужденно закрывается каждый раз, когда он глотает. Это напряжение действует на мышцы горла и создает ощущение кома, из-за которого возникает боль.
