I have no doubt at all that the pain felt from heartbreak it just as intense and real as physical pain.

Sorry, but this is an urban legend. It was initiated by Einstein, who at some point bursted out that some guy he debated with could only be using 10% of the brain. Some journalist picked it up, and misqouted him quite brutally.
Think about it....If there were such vast amount of unused brain, how could evoltion maintain it? It's not like we have a tail anymore. If there is body parts we don't need, it will gradually disappear. Read this in a big collection of popular urban myths (Marie Antoninette never said "let them eat cake" folks), have noe link to show, but it is quite obvious.
