Is It Normal To Shiver All Over After Heated Argument?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a query regarding my wife. Whenever we have a really bad argument, have a heated discussion, yell at each other, stop talking to each other, etc, she stops talking. When I try speaking to her (in not a good mood) to resolve the issue, she doesn t respond. Eventually after a few hours or sometimes even a day when we patch up and I hug her lying on the bed, she starts shaking really really bad. It starts with shaking of her hands, then legs and then the whole body. She does it with a lot of strength and even squeezes my arm with her hands. I literally have to hold her tight to make sure she is under control. While shaking, she also stops breathing... and a couple of times she started shrieking... Otherwise, she is very normal in her day to day life. I am really worried about her. I know that the best solution is for her never to get upset in life ever and for me never to argue with her but I am hoping there is a medical name to her condition and there is a treatment for it. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Hani

Dear Hani with time the problem is going to take a more severe form if it is not intervened right now, first of all you both have to work on your relationship that is not to have heated argument- find out ways to avoid it ;mark each day that passes happily in a calander and reward each other for a peaceful month passed without argument. She takes lots of stress when ever there is an argument and the outcome is just like a post traumatic stress disorder, you need to support her ,built her confidence, manage the crisis without fighting. Better you both take counseling to manage your relation as bad relation will sometime effect your health also..take care.
