ELI5: Why do we feel strong emotions in our chest?

This question was asked a couple of years ago but the answers weren't very detailed or clear, so forgive me for reposting!

Hypothalamus in brain is strongly affected by emotions! And in return hypothalamus can affect a vast number of structures in the body! So when you feel strong emotions, the neuronal discharge from hypothalamus alters your breathing, your blood pressure, the tone in the blood vessels, vomiting centre etc.
