      Thanks for this question. Emotions can lead the body to have what’s called a physiological response as well as feelings. This means things like increased heart rate, or blood pressure, and this can cause the ‘butterfly’ feeling.

      But I would say you sometimes get these sensations with other emotions. If you get really angry your face goes red, and sometimes you can get a feeling in your stomach, same with when you’re upset.

      Hope this answers your question a bit! 🙂
