Hyper Focus

On Friday, trying to complete a very involved application, I hyperfocused from 10am-10pm to complete it.

But then yesterday (Saturday) I had a brutal migraine and diarrhea all day.

Has anyone experienced this sort of bodily response after using their hyperfocus ability all day?

  • It could be feelings of stress while hyperfocusing that triggered the migraine. I know mine are triggered by changes in serotonin levels; when on sertraline for depression, I had daily migraines. Serotonin is also affected by stress and most of this neurotransmitter is produced in the gut. This could account for your other symptom.
