While, I'd need more details to your background, please there's a possibility that this might be arising from multiple difficult situations, leading to always being on an alert mode to not hurt you (emotional you) further. That alert mode triggers your physical self via jitters, palpitations, sweating, heavy/fast heartbeats, etc. complied as Anxiety/Anxiety attacks, and sometimes Panic Attacks as well. You will benefit from box breathing exercises, meditation to begin with. After a week or two of doing these regularly, if this doesn't subside, or you do not have the threshold to practice self help therapies for two weeks, then first visit a Psychologist or Counsellor. Based on the degree of attacks, they will guide you further with diagnosis tools and suggest therapies accordingly or ask you to visit a Psychiatrist for medications and further tests as needed. Practice staying happy and talking positively to yourself. If something triggers attacks, take a walk, shower or eat some healthy snacks to distract your mind. The more you think what is happening to you, you invite more triggers. Hence, positive self talk is important.
Next Steps
1. Self help techniques as suggested
2. Psychologist/Counsellor
3. Psychiatrist

What you’re experiencing — sudden spikes of anxiety with a horrifying intensity — is more common than it feels in the moment. When the body and mind are caught in a loop of hyper-alertness, even a small or unusual thought can trigger a flood of fear. Your mind senses “something’s wrong”, even when your heart tests (2D/3D Echo) are normal, because anxiety doesn’t always come from physical causes — it’s the brain reacting as if you’re under real threat, even when you’re safe. These physical sensations (racing heart, breathlessness, fear) are your body’s way of trying to protect you — but in overdrive.
The key is not to fight the anxiety, but to understand it and train your brain to stop seeing every strange thought as danger. This can be done through therapy (like CBT), grounding techniques, breathwork, and gradual exposure. You’re not losing control — your brain is just stuck in a false alarm mode. It can be retrained. You’re not alone in this. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

It is good that you reached out and you are seeking help. Anxiety can be very debilitating especially when accompanied by feeling that something bad is going to happen. These anxiety attacks can be triggered by minor stresses in your day to day life. You have to take professional help to manage these attacks and it can be managed by medicines. You don’t need to suffer the horrors you are experiencing any longer as there are various treatment options available for this condition. Along with treatment you can also do some relaxation exercises which will aid in the treatment outcome.

Sudden spike in anxiety is likely a panic attack. Anxiety and panic attacks occur due to altered serotonergic balance in the mind pathways in the brain and most patients recover with SSRIs and CBT if needed. Good luck

Symptoms like yours can be a sign of high anxiety, which can be understood and treated through treatment and therapy. Other medical causes should be ruled out.

Hi, I can understand how distressing this must feel.
Firstly, it's reassuring to know that your 2D and 3D Echo reports are normal. That helps us rule out major structural heart issues. The symptoms you're describing â sudden spikes in anxiety, a sense of horror, fear when thinking about unusual or intrusive things â are often seen in anxiety spectrum disorders, especially panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), or even obsessive-compulsive tendencies, depending on the nature of those "unusual" thoughts.
Hereâs what might be happening:
When we experience anxiety, the brain (particularly areas like the amygdala) becomes hyper-alert. Even minor or irrational thoughts can trigger the bodyâs âfight or flightâ response â leading to a surge of adrenaline, racing heart, tight chest, and an overwhelming sense of fear â despite there being no actual danger. This can feel very physical, hence the concern about heart problems, which is extremely common in such cases.
The good news is: this is treatable.
We typically manage this with a combination of:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) â to help break the cycle of anxious thoughts and fear responses.
- Medication, when needed, like SSRIs or short-term anxiolytics.
- Lifestyle support â like breathing techniques, mindfulness, regular sleep, and limiting caffeine.
Would you be comfortable talking more about what kinds of thoughts trigger this response? Understanding the pattern helps us give the best support.
Youâre not alone in this, and with the right care, it gets much better.
