Suggest Remedy For Loss Of Control On Body
My wife whenever she is too angry, kind of loses control of her body. Last time her arm got streched out and was painful and she was not able to pull it back and the same happened to one of her legs. Both limbs kind of got stuck and were painful. She was unable to speak as well as if she is having paralysis. It subsided after half an hour. yesterday, with extreme anger, she lost control and passed out. She pee-ed in her pants and was again not able to control her hand and was unable to speak. She was like this for good 10 minutes after which was able to get up with help. What may be causing all this and what is the remedy. What kind of doctor do I need to seek help from..please advice
