That drives me crazy too.

With me, I don't even have any conscious mental anxiety... just all of a sudden I have tons of physical discomforts.  
Before I started taking meds, I would enter a cataplexic-type state... my voice would become slurred as if I was drunk, my face (particularly my mouth) and hands would tingle and then BOOM- I'd fall asleep.  But never once was I mentally aware of discomfort.
The episodes always happened during normally stressful times- driving a huge RV, being in a large crowd, so I knew it HAD to be anxiety.
I was afraid I was going to kill someone when the episodes struck while I was driving, so I finally got treatment.

Now, my main complaint is trouble breathing... and I still pop my chest (like my finger lol) and when that happens I KNOW I'm anxious.  But my body lets me know- not my mind.  It is **incredibly** annoying.  My "mind" enjoys a lot of the things which set my anxiety off.  I've never understood it.

Hope you are well,
Zhaylin

Hi, Jo. From nowhere? Only seems that way. They come from your brain which is feverishly tapping out urgent messages to indicate there is "a problem down here," psychologically and hopefull a course of therapy will help you discover what that problem is -and then you can fix it. That was my case, anyway, and I do remember trying to gulp air -find that refreshing big gust of air to take down into my lings. Ahhhhh!

Its nice to get that back -so work with your therapist to root it all out and put things right. And by all means, stay in touch here because folks here really DO understand what its all about.
