occasionally, my father will just be sitting there maybe watching tv or listening to the day's conversation and suddenly get this intense look on his face like he's imagining strangling someone and he'll often wring his hands as he's doing this. It'll last about a minute or so and snap out of it. Either that or he sees someone look at him and stop.

Is there any chance of his having some chest pains? The expression on his face might be coming from pain, and wringing his hands might be related to accompanying stress or fear.

Any idea of why he's pissed off?

could be PTSD or maybe he's got a rage problem and not know how to channel it properly. I feel he resents us kids (well, adults now but he's done this for as long as I can remember)
