Physical effects after emotional argument

[AnxiousSM]

I am posting on this thread for traffic - sorry.

I don't know if this is a dumb question or not.

Does anyone get physical symptoms from an emotional argument? Sadly I'm in an unhappy marriage (plans to escape but for a 100 reasons I'm not ready yet). I am bullied and made to feel crap by my husband. This has gone on for a long time. Only recently I've found that after a row I have an upset tummy and can only assume it's related to the emotional strain.
I also have a really sore mouth after a row, the roof of my mouth and tongue, not from any physical attack, it's a purely emotional argument.
Sorry if this sounds a little bizarre. I'm struggling today with the after effects and wondered if this has been experienced by anyone else?

It's not just you. I'm sorry you're in this situation

Yep. I'm known for getting tonsillitis after anything stressful

Physical health and mental health are closely connected. I think you are experiencing symptoms of stress, maybe of trauma.

I know it probably seems very hard, but you need to leave. Things will only get worse.

Yes. Stress comes with physical symptoms like stomach ache, ulcers, etc.

Please be careful- if it's prolonged, it can be hard to recover from. You can have life long problems from prolonged stress, even though you are no longer under stress. Look after yourself as best you can.

Im sorry you're going through this and hope you find the strength to get out.
In answer to your question, it's not just you. I get it as well. Upset stomach mainly. It sound's like your pretty anxious which can do all sorts to you physically.

I had an argument with my OH yesterday and my stomach really hurt afterwards. So I don't know if it's normal but you're not alone.

I'm sure it's not normal for me to be so upset after an argument either but I'm stuck here

Yes. My heart races & my hands tremble if I'm in a stressful intimidating situation. A physical time out like a walk or a bath usually stops it.

Stress and anxiety can absolutely affect you like that. If you get a particularly bad reaction to stress you should see the GP, but apart from that you should think about why there's so much stress, and whether there are changes you need to make!

The abuse is nor normal, but your physical reactions to it are normal.

Upset stomach is what happens your body is responding to a threat in your environment - i.e. your abusive partner.

It's definitely a thing.

I wish you all the best for getting out of this situation. Keep posting here and you'll get support.

You sound really run down. I'm so sorry Op.

Yes, I get a physical reaction too, my throat area throbs and burns. My face feels hot. As s pp poster said, mind and body are so linked

Wish you the best op and strength to move from this situation 💐

I’m sorry you’re in this situation. I’ve been there and it’s bloody awful. Years later I still get physical reactions to being shouted at (my tendinitis flares up).

Thanks for all your kind and supportive messages.
