Abnormally heightened sensitivity to deep pressure or internal bodily sensations, a neurological condition.
From Greek 'bathos' (depth) + 'hyper' (over) + 'aisthesis' (sensation). A specialized medical term combining multiple Greek roots.
Some people with bathyhyperesthesia experience pain from light pressure on their skin due to overactive deep-tissue nerve receptors—a genuinely disabling condition!
