How do horror movies affect a person's heart rate? |
Horror Movies can Increase Heart Rate
The human body responds to real or perceived danger with a 'fight or flight response'-
The brain and body coordinate by releasing large amounts of hormones and biochemicals resulting in an increase in adrenaline (epinephrine) which is a vasoconstrictor that raises blood pressure, and also by releasing another hormone,
noradrealine (norepinephrine), which keeps your blood pressure up and makes your heart beat faster.
