How can sadness make one feel pain in their heart?

Aren't feelings controlled by the brain?So how come when someone is sad their heart hurts instead of their head? Or is it that our heart really doesn't hurt but we imagine that it does because it's a well known concept that the heart aches/breaks when one's unhappy.

Sorry if the question is silly but I am very sad and I actually feel pain in my heart,so I was just wondering if there's a reason or if my mind is playing tricks on me.

Your brain reacts to your bodies feelings. Your heart hurts because it is your heart chakra which is the area of the body(chest area) that gives love when the heart chakra is open. By opening yourself up emotionally, you give love but also are open to receiving love, sort of like a need to fill your gas tank(instead you are filling your love tank). When you don't get that love, you feel empty/sad/hurt.
