Avatar m tn a couple friends said they were going to walk to the mcdonalds to grab some breakfast and as terrorising my friends in their bed was getting a bit boring, i decided to go along with them. it was there, out of nowhere half way on the walk to mcdonalds that i felt strange. its hard to describe, but i felt very distant, everything seemed to be hazey, a bit like how it is with a head cold i guess.

1448936 tn?1363206346 Yes, that's happened to me. No reason, just out of nowhere. My psych told me that's how anxiety works. Sometimes it doesn't need a trigger, it just happens. Hang in there ( I KNOW it's much easier said than done) and remember- nobody has died or gone mad from anxiety. Good luck, Erin. You can always message me, if you need someone to talk to.
Avatar f tn The thing is, they seem to just come out of nowhere. My heart will just start racing out of nowhere and ill get shortness of breath and shaky and dizzy. Anyone know why this is happening or anyways to help it?
Avatar m tn I would have to agree. My anxiety sometimes seems to come out of nowhere but quite often is related to the amount of stress or the events going on in my life. I also believe that is what can make anxiety so stressful when everything seems to be going fine and then it hits you out of nowhere. For me, counseling was the best choice I made in dealing with it.
Avatar f tn s a flight or fight response to a perceived threat. Panic attacks are your mind and bodies way of trying to run from something. Of course when your mind attempts to run, it has nowhere to go but in circles, after all, it's your mind and it can't possibly leave. That's why acceptance is often taught as a method of behavioral therapy to treat anxiety. The more you try to fight the anxiety and control it, the stronger it gets.
Avatar f tn Just curious if this has happened to anyone else before. I am currently on 150mg of Sertaline a day. I went back on it almost a year ago. All of a sudden about 4 days ago my anxiety came back out of nowhere, I feel "cloudy" in the head and am super sleepy. All of my symptoms are like the side effects when I first went back on the medicine last year. I haven't missed any doses or anything. Any idea why I would be feeling like this all of a sudden?
1194973 tn?1385503904 Hi Toots! Getting an anxiety attack "out of the blue" is one of the terrifying aspects of this disorder. It often leads to a condition known as "anticipatory anxiety," in which you live constantly in a state of anxiety awaiting the next "attack." Stress, if it's unrelenting, can often produce symptoms very similar to anxiety.
Avatar m tn My heart started to race out of nowhere cause I was stressed about this new med zoloft that I'm on. Right now it's day 8 on it and I feel only panicky at night cause this pill. If you look back at my other post I have bad experience with pills and don't like taking them. This is how day went, I was chillin with my girl and her lil brother felt good no problems til it just hit me at night before bed getting worried about this pill so I started to get the hurting feeling in my chest.
Avatar m tn I started having panic attacks a few months ago. They just came out of the blue. I have anxiety, but I have never had panic attacks before then. I was just wondering if panic attacks can be a sign of a more serious issue.
Avatar f tn I tried coping with it and smoking smaller amounts but I started having severe anxiety and panic attacks out of nowhere. I thought it was from smoking too much so I stopped for a little, but this attacks didn't go away and they still won't. I was perscibed .25 Xanax and took it for about a week because I literally couldn't sit still in my college classes and needed to pace and I constantly yawned when these attacks occurred.
Avatar m tn People do indeed have panic attacks out of nowhere when they have the disorder. Not everyone, but some. That's what can make them so scary for some people and why treating them is important. However, not sure about your particular situation. Have you had this occur before? The DSM 5 specifies that panic attacks must be unexpected for panic disorder. I think this article is a good read for you https://www.psychologytoday.
Avatar f tn This has been happening for about two weeks now, and I want to know if this is normal before going to my doctor. I have been having these 'episodes' of anxiety/ panic, I'm not sure exactly what it is. I will be doing something normal, and I just can't sleep, and every morning at about 2 a.
Avatar f tn I have random panic attacks out of nowhere, an sometimes my heart beats REALLY hard. It only beats hard at night when I'm in bed. I also sometimes have a very very very dull pain in my heart. I get scared REALLY easily, also. Thirdly, I have a hard time swallowing sometimes, which leads to a mini panic attack.
Avatar f tn Have you been stressed recently? Panic attacks can seem to come out of nowhere and they sometimes perpetuate further panic attacks in my opinion. That is what can make this cycle so hard to get out of sometimes. Finding the root cause of your stress can also play a VERY important role in overcoming this in my opinion...keep us posted!
Avatar f tn Seems odd they would appear out of nowhere. But matters not, really. Some good stress and anxiety management will help you, along with getting some good exercise most every day.
Avatar f tn Oh i get weird vision sometimes i see things out of nowhere .Scares me but i am guessing its either anxiety or i need glasses but it just started since i started having anxiety attacks plus I always feel like i am in a different world i always feel like i am floating somewhere lol ...
Avatar m tn im 17 and just trying to find any form of answers. for the past 9 months ive been having these "attacks" where my fingers have a tingling sensation then go numb. My entire body shuts down and then i have violent muscle contractions/spasms. My fingers, arms, stomach, feet, and legs become stiff and painful and it feels like each nerve its being twisted and pulled in all different directions. My eyes and vision during this shake uncontrollably.
Avatar n tn what you describe is exactly how I picture panic attacks when they come out of nowhere. First of all, just ensure you do not stop your medication cold turkey; do it under the advice of your doctor. Second, have you had any talk therapy to learn about your anxiety/panic? For me, gaining the long term knowledge to confront this is VERY valuable and essential to not only dealing with this, but actually thriving with it...keep us posted!
