Why Does Anger Cause Numbness In My Hands?

i got very angry at someone recently and as a result, i noticed both of my hands went numb. The numbness even went upper in my left arm, but i can still hold things though. i even was able to text my sister about it. When i felt calmer, the numbness went away slowly, eventually. What happened to me doc?
