This is a very common situation. The best thing to do is talk to your partner. Explain your concern and suggest seeing a specialist to find out what's happening and get the help they need. Try to do this when you're both calm, when your partner is also calm, and in a private, unhurried setting. It's very important to convey calm, normalcy, and reassurance.
