Why do you feel happiness, or sadness, or nervousness in your chest, and not in your head or somewhere else?

Feelings convey information about situations, on both conscious and subconscious levels, via at least 30 neurochemicals acting alone or in concert in complex ways.
If we were not such complex creatures, we would not have them. Robots do not have feelings. Cars do not have feelings. Plants to not have feelings. The higher up on the food chain you are, the more complex your genetic makeup will be. It is elementary!

I feel happiness all over, sadness in my heart and nervousness in my tummy, primarily.

Your "feelings" affect your heart rate, that's why you feel it in your chest first.
