What triggers random anxiety and panic attacks when nothing is going on?

Thinking about or remembering past events in your life can trigger anxiety and panic attacks as you relive unpleasant memories. Thinking and worrying about the future can also trigger anxiety and panic attacks as you worry about what's going to happen, whether you'll be successful, the consequences if you fail, inadequacy etc.

A life of a Pacific Islander, Money and family obligation seems to be the culprit that triggers anxiety. Children in this part of the world are investments to our parents and families regardless of how you were raised. You are expected to give back and don't questions your obligations either it is a family or extended family related. Most of these obligations involves money and your time to attend. Please don't get me wrong I love my family and my communities but sometimes their expectations is too much to bear. My anxiety shows in a form of not sleeping due to so many things in my mind or been rude in my words so I could protect myself from being hurt or lashing back in a language that hurts the other person. The pay back is a bitch but at that exact moment there is a relief that they got your message and u could embrassed it for a moment. I wonder if I am the only person in this world with these issues.

Your mind is thinking to much about something even if you don't know what it is. Sometimes we overthink things and our body reacts to that.

I guess when you're alone you start thinking and then you start to stress out on the real random stuff in your life and that triggers it.

Sometimes it can be anything. My best opinion would be that your brain has gone into a fight or flight mode, causing you to panic. Panic attacks and anxiety such as these is usually a chemical imbalance in the brain, requiring medication, therapy or relaxation techniques to reduce episodes and to control panicking situations.

Sometimes we dont know the reason for our anxiety or there is not reason at all! I believe the best you can do in that situation is to do things that relaxes you and forget about the cause

Unfortunately for me when I am working and two many people in my store I do not like having so many people in a small place

Mostly Bad experience associated within a certain place, a sound or even a person there must a stimulant that causes the anxiety

The past, and the thought of the future. They scare you into panic attacks. They can cause depression to.

Sometimes, You can end up asking yourself questions to develop a story in your head or to solve a problem then suddenly something will come to you. Perhaps its a question of uncertainty - "Do they talk to me because they like me?" or a realization - "There is going to be a lot of people there", But from that point it begins to spiral out of control, driven by self-doubt or dread leading to an anxious feeling that is too difficult to shake off until the event happens or until you can find some way to distract yourself, or a feeling of dread with a perception such as "It is unavoidable" and mentally pushing yourself into a corner until you end up breaking.
