how come whenever someone is nervous they get butterflies? like when someone is up on stage in front of a large audience or if there's danger (like you're about to get into a fight or something) they get that feeling in their stomache

When you're nervous, you release adrenaline, and that causes your blood vessels to dilate. This dilation of blood vessals is felt as butterflies in the stomach. Nothing to worry about.

It's the increase pace of blood flow.Adrenaline is literally expanding the blood vessels and racing. It's OK... like ur body is either thrilled or scared... butterflies in the tummy (6th sense is what my teens call it) can alert u to danger if u pay attention. Butterflies before a performance is just nervous, excited jitters perfectly harmless. They tend to focus the energy feelings into something to calm down and do deep breathing... trying to slow things down and head for calming thoughts, emotions. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't they've learn to be quick on their feet and improvise... it seems it's harder for my sons than my daughters...Some say they can hear their heart beating out of their chest.

Anxiety, is the word, Sammy Davis Jr. got that all the time till his death. That is normal for a person who isnt burned out.

It's the fluctuation in your heart beat pattern... The different blood flow, causes you to have the "butterfly" feeling.

It's an adrenaline rush, kinda like drinking too much caffeine.
