Physical pain related to emotions?

I am not quite sure how to word the title......but I have kind of this issue and I was wondering if it sounds like an aspergers/autism issue. Anyways sometimes if I experiance sudden painful emotions I kinda get a physical reaction. Like if someone says something really hurtful I get this weird combination of increased heart rate and chest pain and kind of a feeling of being about ready to explode. It is kind of hard to describe but I've never found any information about anything like this.
So I guess I am just wondering if anyone here has experianced anything like what I am talking about........and how you cope with it or what you do about it. I'm kind of sick of it, makes me feel pathetic.

I experienced that when they changed my work environment I was around large loud vibrating machines that made me feel anxiety after I spent three or four years in quiet room by myself. They said if was for safety reasons and it almost killed me LoL. When I was like that the littlist things said to me hurt my feelings or pissed me off I felt like I was either going to cry or to fight. I was like that for a solid year. I spent a lot of time running to the bathroom my co-workers always thought I had a bathroom emergancy. The constant spikes in my already high untreated blood pressure caused damage to my kidneys and enlarged my heart. I ended up in the ICU for five days. I am afraid of starting a new job because I feel the anxiety will hurt my heart again.

From what I know it's actually normal for your body to react physically to strong emotions, adrenaline causes the body to do certain things when it thinks its in an emergency. Such as increased heart rate, stomach pain, chest pain, the need to evacuate one's bowels.
If I feel fear or nervousness I tend to get stomach problems (which is often), sometimes if it's bad enough it sets of my IBS and I do loooots of poo.
