What Causes Anxiety And Nervousness?

Hello,1 week ago I jumped out of bed and I thought I was having a heart attack, I drove myself to the ER and they told me it was a panic attack. Now I have anxiety, nervousness, starting to have phobias, mental confusion, faintness. It seems as though when I go outside I am having a fear of the sky, I have been an outdoorsmen for all my life, I look at the mountains and I get light headed and panic. I am 37. I have gone on extensive trips by myself and am somewhat a survivalist. It seems as though now, in one week, I had a hard time driving because I was getting bewildered at the sights around me. What do you think, I am shocked. I am going through some things that are stressfull, and life changing. I eat very healthy but may be lacking in something.

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety is fear of something which may or may not be true or may or may not happen in the future. Anxiety is known to produce so many weird symptoms which has no physiological back up. They tend to be just obsessive.

Panic attacks always happen due to underlying anxiety. Therefore you must address the underlying anxiety first. Please understand anxiety and related problems. Once you understand your anxiety, you will be able to keep yourself away from panic creating situations. Therapy always starts with avoiding such situations along with coping techniques when forced to be in such situations. Start slowly, progress gradually, attain neatly.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
