My hand clenches my wife’s side as I drift off to sleep

Hello -  I don’t know where to turn. As I’m drifting off to sleep, my hand is on my wife’s side or my arm is wrapped around her and she’s holding my hand upon her chest, my hand clenches tightly, enough so that she shreiks in pain. At times the squeeze is enough to leave a bruise on her skin. I am 62, in otherwise good health, having just had a full blood test and physical. Holding her when she comes to bed is comforting for both of us and makes her feel secure. But we can’t keep doing this if I’m causing her pain.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.
