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

When someone has a panic disorder, they are constantly in a state of panic because of the stress hormones released by the body. High levels of stress hormones in the body causes the panick attack. The physical changes may start an hour before the attack. -They can get a panic attack even when they are not doing nothing. -This can happen due to major life events and their inability to cope up with stress, consuming stimulants like caffeine, cocaine or any other health conditions like adrenal tumour, Cushing's syndrome and sometimes it's random( combination of many factors). So, if you're experiencing random anxiety attacks, 1. Go to a hospital to rule out any health issues. 2.Relax. Learn to breathe deeply and slowly 2. Meditate and do some yoga 3. Exercise. It burns out the stress hormones and releases endorphins which makes us happy and healthy. 4. Drink lots of water and take rest. Give time for you body to recover 5.Face your fears. When you're have a panic attack, -Acknowledge and accept that you're afraid at the moment. -Dont resist your thoughts. -Breathe slowly. Be patient and let it pass.

I have had the very same question too in the past. I don't think there is an answer that works for everyone, and here's why. My therapist put it this way: Anxiety usually hides other emotions. It's a mixture of feelings, and that makes it hard and confusing for us to recognize them or find a cause. So, in reality, there is always some kind of cause behind anxiety, or panic attacks, and the like. We just need to work on finding it. And it's different for everyone. Each individual has personal triggers, or "weak points", or even different levels of sensitivity, after all.

Sometimes it is a chemical inbalance, other times it is worrying and overthinking situations or what people have said. Sometimes it is even a combination of both. Through out the course of your day there are at least three hundred thoughts that "cross your mind". You probably actually think about one hundred of them. The anxiety comes from pulling some of those "random thoughts" into the forefront or your mind, even if you don't mean to. It's ok that some of those thoughts get pulled out (it's not always in your control). What is in your control is how you react or deal with them.

Sometimes we got something that we forget cause we don't want to face it, and that is make us feel random anxiety and panic attack even when nothing is going on. Cause in our mind, we can't really forget about what we angry for or what we scared. We put that in our heart, really deep so we think that "it's ok i can forget about it". But reality does not like that. In reality we can't forget that forever, we just can forget about that for a while. If we not solve the problems or share it to the others, that can make us feel anxiety and panic

Nothing is never going on. Just because we are not aware of our thoughts, does not mean we aren't having them. Sometimes a thought is kept out of our conscious mind by our previous attempts at repression, particularly those thoughts associated with trauma. Without realizing it, we may be recognizing something that reminds us of that former time, and our brain is responding to what is called "pattern recognition"; meaning that something around us is reminding us of a time when we were injured, felt humiliated, or other physical and/or emotional trauma. In this event, our body responds without our conscious awareness of the 'trigger' or pattern of thinking. What we can do is, first, use our coping skills to calm the panic, and then sit and contemplate what was going on, both inside and outside, to see if we can gain some insight into the 'trigger'. some times the trigger may be chemical, such as caffine, or something you are allergic to.

In some situations there is something going on at a subconscious level that the person having the anxiety or panic attack may not be fully aware of. An argument, or stress they experienced earlier and thought they had resolved it, when in fact it was still lingering. Also, sometimes, and this is probably what causes it the most, is that the person is experiencing a chemical imbalance. If their medication is off for some reason or not working effectively. Finally, sometimes attacks can come because you are uneasy in whatever environment you are in for the moment.

The thought of people judging you or things that are going to happen in the future. Let’s say you have a big project due in class. Even though it’s weeks away you get stressed knowing you have to do that. Stress is the biggest problem with anxiety. When you get too stressed out panic attacks occur. Panic attacks feel like someone is sitting on your chest, when in reality nothing is. You lose your breath, you feel angry at the world. Anything and everything agitates you. So to summarize stress is the main cause of panic attacks and anxiety.

What happens is that the body goes into alert mode for no reason. So these people affected by it feel really scared. It makes you feel like your heart is pounding, you can't catch your breath and you possibly feel pains in the chest. When that feeling is there the body's nervous system gets really triggered.... so the blood sugar spikes and senses get sharper to overcome that fear. what happens could be a result of unknown factors like possibly triggered by chemical imbalance in the brain or hormones. It just happens for unknown reasons, unlike anxiety attacks that are triggered by a common cause.

Sometimes just walking down a hallway with crowds or a change in my day that was unexpected. Attacks really are random and and often debilitating to some degree. Sometimes even just a look or lack there of of response can bother me. On bad days I'll have a break in the pain and then start feeling anxiety because of how I know I'm prone to feel. Goodness lots of things set me off, but honestly a lot of things that would bother other people just don't bother me. Sometimes what helps other people actually triggers me, so I have to explain how I want help which is also annoying
