Anxiety out of nowhere...?

I was having such a decent feeling day compared to how I have been feeling the last three to four Weeks. Then I'm laying here watching TV and my heart starts racing,chest hurts, and breathing feels shallow. I did some deep breathing and it helped but it keeps coming back and now My dizziness and headache set in. I did do a lot today because I was feeling good enough too. Thinking about it now I did get anxious (not too bad) about some of the stuff I had to do in an attempt to better my situation but it made me uncomfortable and I went back on it but made me feel better and relieved. So, I don't understand why that would give me anxiety. I also was a little worried about when I tried to clean some moldy pants that belong to my brother because of the spores getting in me and making me sick but I researched and the white mold is harmless but can make you react like allergies or asthma, if you have it already. What sucks too is I ended up throwing the pants away like I wanted to in the first place. So, I don't know if in the back of my mind I'm still paranoid about if the mold will make me sick. or just the whole day is hitting me. It just sucks because I felt like I was finely feeling good and the week was going to be good. Anyone else feel like anxiety just hits you from the day once you start relaxing instead of in the moment?

That's how it happens I'm afraid.

I can have a really nice relaxing day and then out of the blue I have a massive panic attack.

Its just so crazy how our body responds to our mind. Even when we don't feel like somethings happening in there. If that makes sense. I hope you're feeling well.

Hello David,

Thank you for the support. I have talked to my doctor and seen 3 therapist. Ive had anxiety for 10 years and i've learned how to cope with it decently but sometimes its just bad and makes no sense. The headaches and dizziness is a new symptom though so ive talked to my doctor and we're getting new blood test and im seeing a neurologist to rule anything serious out. I don't have any ocd tendencies but I may have made it sound like that when I explained the whole backed out of the change today. To make it short, I moved the coffee table out of the Living room because my brother,who's an alcoholic, rolls off the couch into and knock things off. But I love and need the table, I use it often, so it sucks and I said screw this and put it back. but it makes me anxious with him breaking stuff and possibly hurting himself. Plus, selfishly, he breathes his hot, alcohol breathe on me all night. Its horrible.
