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

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

what triggers random anxiety and panic attacks when nothing is going on is that you may be having dark thoughts that you may not be able to control and with that you have to learn how to manage what you feel you may not be able to control with out learning and reading about how to manage anxiety. anxiety can happen in so many ways that it becomes confusing. you have to learn to trust yourself and trust other people. if you open up and let only good thoughts in your mind you become stronger mentally. meeting goals and feeling good about yourself is the first step for me as i try to handle my panic attacks. i take medicine during a panic attack which helps me relax. while relaxing i try to do self talk and positive imagery so when the next panic attacks happens i do use the same techniques again. writing in a journal every time in have a panic attack helps me vent my problems and use them as a reference during non anxiety times. i also do yoga and use deep breathing excercises. i feel the triggers most of the time is when i get angry and feel i can't realize i am having a panic attack until it gets pretty disturbing. i feel i can't slow down my thoughts. there does not need to be much going on as well to have a panic attack.

i believe that sometimes we don't realize what takes place in a reaction. sometimes our mind can remember things we are not aware and i feel like our mind still can have a connection with what we are aware and triggers a anxiety as a warning of we should protect yourself because something similar or that hurt is present in front of us. i feel panic attacks is a defence mechanism that can be broke when we lose control of who are what we are and what we can do. without self control or understanding were we stand its easy to panic on things and have anxiety.

For me personally, sometimes if my mind isn't busy enough, I start to overthink things or question past decisions, which leads to anxiety. And then once my brain has fixated on the anxiety, I overthink more, which can spiral into a panic attack. What tends to help me is if I find something to keep me busy or distract myself, so that my mind can't continue to overthink and obsess over the anxiety. That said, if I'm in a situation where I can't find some sort of distraction, I've also found meditation and mindfulness and breathing exercises to be really helpful.

Based on my personal experience, my anxiety/panic attacks can be caused by essentially anything. Even if nothing is happening at that time, they could be caused by worrying about future events (that probably won't ever happen), worrying about past events, etc. I typically think about things most either while I am trying to go to sleep at night or while I am in the shower. The night before last, while I was in the shower, I almsot had a panic attack from thinking about past panic attacks. This was the first time that I had realized I was doing this as well. I realized that I do this all the time, but I never know that I am doing it in the moment. I am okay now btw!

Personally, sometimes even thinking about having anxiety gives me anxiety. I, also, sometimes just get into my own head too much & think too deep into things. A way I calm myself down is laying down and watching a good show or movie. It helps keep my negative thoughts in the back of my mind. It’s also super helpful to talk to someone about how you are feeling. Maybe even listening to a favorite song would help put your mind at ease. Anxiety and panic attacks are not planned, and sometimes hard to control, but there is a few options to help you calm down from one.

Well. In my experience, i find that a lot of the times when my panic attacks come on, i am in a room that something bad happened in, it is a time of day that is really hard for me, or even maybe it is just my thoughts! I know that for me, if i can identify what is triggering the attack, and it could be something small like i am anxious to go home at the end of the school day, it helps a lot! Then you can find skills that help, or sometimes challenge the thoughts that are making you anxious.

A lot of times the overall stress and mental strain from the last few days can be enough. Sometimes our body just hits a seemingly random breaking point, and that's ok. When this happens, look around. Eliminate any stressors that you can in the moment. For example, turn off the TV if you aren't using it, take a break from the stressful work conference you're at, etc. Then refuel. Grab a healthy snack, listen to some good music, take a shower, read a book, paint your nails, do anything that makes you feel better. And remember 7 cups is always here to help, as well.

It could be truly anything, from a loud sound to something someone said earlier in the day. All what happened is when you tend to over look something you’re mind than takes control and spins that way out of control, to where the most oddest possibilities seem like they could happen and that would be the most common thing. Anxiety sucks, but at the same time it gives you a different understanding of what people are going through. It helps you pick out who in you’re life are going to help or hurt you. While this part with the constant attacks that seem to pop up for no damn reason at all sucks. You just have to hang on and let things to start getting better. And you’re body will send you sign when it’s going to happen, you’re hands get clammy. Throats dry, feels like you swallowed sandpaper. But never think something is to hard to do. While it may be a challenge to accomplish right now, it’ll get easier along the way. You got this, just hang in there for a while

It is hard to believe, but most researchers do not have an answer to this phenomenon. I have had random anxiety/panic attacks before, and they are absolutely awful. Especially when they are at a moment when you're doing good. Panic attacks are most likely triggered in a persons environment. Sometimes, you may not recognize the triggers until after a panic attack. Panic attacks are caused by stress and fear. If you are doing something which could trigger these feelings, it is possible you could have a panic attack. Even when you think everything was going alright. Drinks such as caffeine can also trigger anxiety. Sometimes, individuals don't recognize when this does occur. Your thoughts can also be the reason why you may have a random anxiety attack.

Remembering a painful memory from the past, especially if the wound is fresh. Or seeing a particular person or event that reminds me of a painful memory. Negativity in mood could also be a factor. I recently lost my job, so I keep thinking that I am a failure which makes me feel numb. When I saw an inspirational speech earlier this week, I nearly fainted from the speaker's words about what makes a leader. It really triggered the firing all over again in my head. My hands became numb and I almost fell to floor. Simply put, the past was and still is my worst nightmare for panic attacks.

Myself. Especially when nothing is going on, my mind starts to imagine all worst case scenarios and suddenly everything is happening all at once. Being anxious unfortunately is an on going state, it never ends and you don't even get to know where it begins. In the silence, anxiety finds a way to make noise. And it's such a specific noise - whether it's your thoughts racing, or just sudden crash of emotions triggered by something you did wrong or something that is wrong right now. If only anxiety was triggered by only certain things, I'd have an easier time sleeping at night.

I am no doctor and as always an in person examination may be best to help determine what your exact causes are as things like this will vary from person to person. I will tell you based on my expierence and my research on why anixety and panic attacks comes out of nowhere. Lack of sleep, always watch what you eat as that plays a big role in it as well. Make sure you are eating enough throughout the day and make sure you have a healthy balanced diet. Eating right can actually make a big difference when it comes to anxiety. Certain illnesses can trigger it as well such as heartburn. Hormonal changes or imbalance, anemia, If you are on certain medications that could be a factor as well. Overworking yourself, watching certain things on tv, and much more. If you think about almost anything can be a trigger and often times believe it or not it has nothing to do with stress.

I would say generalized anxiety. It is a condition where nothing in particular can trigger anxiety and panic attacks. Though, there may be a recurring thing that you may not have noticed before present during these episodes of anxiety. Next time it happens, try to breathe deeply and consider your surroundings and situation. Notice the little things around you and try to identify possible triggers so you can be better prepared and knowledgeable about what and when you may experience these feelings. If you can spot the issue, it becomes easier to be ready to battle it and ultimately overcome it.

A lot of what pertains to anxiety and panic attacks has to do with neurotransmitters in your brain. A lack or excessive of certain kinds plays a great role in these things. The specific things that trigger them in a moment vary from person to person. Even when you perceive nothing to be going on, your senses and brain can be overwhelmed or overstimulated and can act out in the form of anxiety and panic. Don't blame yourself for this. It isn't as easy to control as it seems. One thing you can try doing in the case that you start experiencing this out of nowhere is what we call "grounding ourselves". What this means is basically getting more in touch with your surroundings and the input from your senses to your brain. First name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste. Take deep breaths while doing this and hold your inhale for as long as you can. Try inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth too. Again, this isn't guaranteed to work for everyone but it's just something to try. I hope this helps! :) -LC

Sometimes it can be the smallest things that remind me of what happened; a whiff of that cologne, the same make of that car. I have recognized these triggers and have tried to take care of myself during these moments. But sometimes, I cannot even recognize has caused my panic. Those are scariest moments... when I can't put my finger on why I am having such a strong emotional response. I take deep breaths and try to ground myself, but it can be hard. Sometimes I let the tears come. Sometimes I distract myself with silly sitcoms. Sometimes I touch the walls and remind myself that I am no longer in that situation. Regardless of how I handle it, I recognize that I have come a far way and that healing is an ongoing process.

A key component in this question is understanding that anxiety is in the person's head, it is not circumstantial. Panic attacks can result from PTSD flashbacks, social pressures, irrational thoughts. They can also result from a pile-up of issues. There may be no particular cause, rather lots of smaller issues that the individual may not recognise. So, it is important to realise the things that may be triggering this. Is it a memory? Is it a break in routine? Is it another person? The trigger varies in different cases. Writing things down is important in recognising the issue and identifying coping methods.

Hi I’ve had anxiety since I was only twelve years old. Something that I’ve noticed that triggers my personal anxiety is social media. You see when I was younger I looked on social media and I had to look and act the way other people did because if I didn’t I’d stand out which I thought was wrong, now I know it’s not wrong at all. Another thing was middle and high school because everyone’s judging you by what you look like or wear and so I thought I had to be the top of my game and anxiety formed because of it. I didn’t think I could dress the way I wanted I thought I had to get others approval on everything and so when someone gave me a strange look for doing something as simple as wearing the wrong hair style. But now I’ve cut back social media and spread joy and loving ones self which helps lower anxiety.

Anxiety and panic attacks are often triggered by a specific situation - where were you? what were you thinking before the incident? Was it someone you ran into? Anxiety and panic attacks are taking place when you are perfectly fine - this can be a sign of other possible disorders or depression. Always seek a profession opinion. The bright side is that both disorders are treatable to improve your wellness and prevent it from happing in the future. The brain is a very complex organ, everything connects there. Ask for help, reach to others, do not be ashamed. It is a common issue - I have been there.

sometimes we don't even know that we are in an environment that triggers anxiety. this can be very confusing. i was so surprised when i got my first panic attack. i thought i was physically ill. then when i understood that what was happening to me are panic attacks i couldn't figure out why on earth would i have them. i wasn't afraid of anything, or at least my fears are reasonable, right? everyone has some fear before exams or before going to a doctor right? sometimes the triggers are in our subconscious and we can't even fathom why we have them in the first place but deep down there is a reason behind it. maybe therapy can help you figure out those triggers.

The triggers are different for everyone. They may be due to anxiety or something PTSD related. I would recommend seeing a doctor or therapist if one is easily available to you to really get an answer for this. As I don’t know your life situation and experiences. No one know you like you do so try to be aware of what you’re doing when these attacks come on and see if you can spot a pattern in them. Maybe then you could avoid doing those particular things or at least find a coping mechanism that can help calm you down.

I have no idea what it is for other people, but for me, if I’ve just gotten out of an overwhelming situation, before I even know I was overwhelmed, I get completely numb, and around thirty minutes later all my emotions rush back to me at once. This might just be an introvert thing though. Examples of this is if I’m driving a few someones somewhere, and they start shouting, I get overwhelmed, and the second they get out of the car and I’m alone, I get all numb, and then the panic. Again, I can’t say your trigger, but from personal experience, that’s what usually triggers mine.

That's the nature of panic disorder! Our brains perceive danger when there isn't any so our body reacts as if there is danger, which makes us panic even more. It's a feedback loop. If you can calm your breathing (and then your heart rate will start to slow as well) you can convince your brain that there's no need to panic.

Generally high stress levels, panic or anxiety disorders or triggers that aren't obvious can all set off seemingly random anxiety attacks. A sound, smell, taste or feeling can all trigger memories or bodily responses without us understanding why. However, the response of the body is not random and there is always a reason for it. It could even be as simple as "bad" breathing habits that trick your body into thinking there is something to be anxious about. Sometimes, attacks can also be brought on by things happening in our subconscious. This can be specifically when we repress emotions, and find ourselves suddenly spilling over with "random" responses, manifested in the form of panic or anxiety attacks.

I believe that our bodies have a sense memory. You experience a variety of physical sensations when you're experiencing anxiety and in an "actual" triggering situation. However, when you experience something that is non-triggering, yet it resembles those same physical symptoms, it can trigger anxiety and panic. For example, your heart races when you have a panic attack, yet your heart can also race for a variety of non-panic related reasons, in fact some that are positive. Your body doesn't know that this is different and not a threat. All the more reason to use grounding and mindfulness techniques that enable you to recognize the safety of your current environment and stabilize your symptoms.
