Wondering if anyone has this issue? once in a while i get into an argument with my partner. nothing crazy maybe just a 30 seconds long thing. and within 48 hours i get the worst PEM. I feel so sick that I just wanna die. However if i walk a short distance for 5-10min slowly around the block (stay within my limits) and come home nothing happens. why? I was in mexico last year and actually went for a swim in the ocean with help of a friend and i didn’t get PEM as bad as i get after arguments.

Is there any way of preventing this from happening after the event? I mean arguments are part of life there is no way of preventing it. so i would like to know how i can prevent a PEM to manifest after the a short stressful event has just happened?
