Is this the first time she s having the symptoms. If so from when it has started. U can convince her to visit a doctor for physical symptoms and take her to a psychiatrist most preferably in some pvt multi speciality hospital or ask someone to do home visit. Keep reassuring her about her fears, don't try to point out the illogicality of her behavior and don't contradict or confront...as this might result in violence ....acknowledge her fears and reassure her ....
