Am I Suffering From Anxious Personality Disorder?

sometimes, for no reason, i start to feel very anxious almost like i am about to give a speech in front of thousands of people, only ten times worse. it has actually gotten to the point where i'm so anxious it hurts. then my vision becomes blurry everywhere except for the area in my direct focus. then i recall images from my mind, but i can't remember if they were a dream or real, which causes me to become more anxious. i have tried drinking more water, eating a healthier diet , and getting more sleep to see if any of these would cause it to stop, but none has. why does this happen?

Has anyone else seen you during these episodes? Do they tell you that you have red eyes or stare blankly or stare as if you are scared? Do they tell you that you are confused and do not understand their speech at the time? Do they notice any movements on your face like chewing or lip-biting or lip-smacking or that you are fumbling or looking for objects? Do you faint or feel drowsy for brief periods ( 5 to 30 min ) after such episodes?
Do you get to know before the episode starts? Some feeling like ' the episode is going to start '?
