Why does your body temperature rise when you get angry?

When you experience anger, your body enters a state of heightened arousal due to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. This triggers the release of stress hormones like adrenaline, which increases heart rate and blood flow, leading to a rise in body temperature. Additionally, anger can cause muscles to tense, further contributing to the sensation of warmth. This physiological response is part of the "fight or flight" mechanism, preparing your body to react to perceived threats.
