i think it's got something to do with the situation in which your husband is driving. I've been scared to death My husband will have a heart attack or stroke behind the wheel because he is an agressive driver who cusses everyone on the road. You're husband may either have a slight fear of driving that's just not being recognized by him yet.

Natural, physiological responses to stress include increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, your digestive processes will slow or stop and the body will manufacture Cortisol (which can make you gain weight).
This is a great thing if you're being chased by a tiger, but not something that you want as a resonse in non-dangerous situations. Studies have shown these same stress responses can occur before taking a test, and even when your phone rings.
