Feeling goofy after an accident

I have only had a handful of noteworthy injuries in my life but every time I do injure myself I feel giddy. Nearly everything seems funny and I start babbling like an idiot to anyone who will listen. Why does this happen? I'm not talking about head injuries. This happens if I sprain an ankle or cut myself accidentally. I'm assuming its some sort of weird adrenaline response but I've never heard of anyone else having this problem.

Euphoria induced by an endorphin rush, triggered by adrenaline, pain and stress.

hey - it sounds good, at least.

You're probably sensitive to the endorphin/adrenaline combo.
