Sometimes your body takes longer to react to anxiety. Sometimes your body can take weeks to actually react to a stressful situation.

Even though we may have learned to control our emotional or mental reaction that leads to a panic attack, our bodies can still have a conditioned physiological response. This is seen in trauma victims who may have a trigger that has not been identified or that has a deeper conditioned response.

Panic attacks are a result of suppressed emotions and it's in their nature to just come out of nowhere, mostly in situations where we really do not want them. It's the body's reaction of dealing with overflowing emotions, at some point they just spill over like boiling water. So we're not really in control of when we get a panic attack.

your brain might have indirect flashbacks that you might not feel. panic attacks are not necessarily preceded by a specific environmental event, then, therefore, there are no specific triggers. I think that since I've gone through the same, I know it happens because of nerve triggers in your brain which are dominantly caused because of anxiety or high levels of unhealthy stress. such attacks might not be preventable in one point of view but obviously such cases have a cure at an extent. Meds are always an option but personally i wouldn't take those as then your body gets used to it.

Panic attacks are triggered by your flight and fight response, so there is some sort of input to trigger that flight and fight response and the hardest thing is that we might not even be aware of it. It can be an event that happened to us in the past that we found traumatic or even how we view how other people perceive us. There is also a biological explanation in which sometimes panic attacks are impacted by a little adrenaline rush and too much of adrenaline can make us feel anxious. You can try some deep breathing exercises in case you have an anxiety attack.
