Hey there,

It’s called free-floating anxiety. You don’t have to be anxious about anything specific in order to feel physical symptoms from anxiety. It’s a vicious cycle. Your free-floating anxiety causes symptoms, and the symptoms cause more anxiety.

This happens to me too. The times where I’m not even anxious I get anxiety symptoms and it makes me feel like it’s something more serious.

Yes, happens to me all the time. I will be sitting at home, very calm, reading, or watching TV and Boom, out of the blue. My heart will pound, my BP goes up, I feel a bit dizzy, but it passes. Whatever you do, don't fight it. Just flow with it, say to yourself it is not gonna hurt me, this too shall pass, and it will. Ya have to rewire the brain to make better choices.

I have this too. The other day I was really enjoying walking the dog when ......boom... i started to sweat until wet through, then feel faint and shakey........couldnt get home quickly enough. I too worry about these sweats as I don't really believe the doctor when he says they are caused by anxiety, even though all the tests I have been through have returned clear.
