I, too, get nervous every time my phone rings. I'm not sure why. I'm not expecting any scary phone calls. Lol! But, lo and behold, let my phone ring and I jump and can feel my anxiety level bump up a couple of notches. This morning, I had one of the worst panic attacks I have had in a long time. I do not know what triggered it. I was cleaning in the bathroom and was washing my hands when I became aware of a sensation that felt like I couldn't breath in deeply and was feeling faintish. Classic anxiety symptoms, except I wasn't sure why I would be having an anxiety/panic attack, and immediately began to wonder if it was a heart attack. I made it to my cell phone and called my sister, who lives down the street to come sit with me. I opened the door and sat on the floor in front of it to wait for her. By this time, my heart was racing and I was shaking all over. It was very intense, like I hadn't had in a long time, but I kept thinking that it was more anxiety feeling than heart. My sister stayed with me until my husband could get home. As soon as I heard my husbands key in the lock, I felt better. Immediately. Funny how that is. He is my source of security and calm. Anyway, after laughing through "Puss In Boots" and taking a short nap/rest, I feel more like myself again. The worst part of having an attack like that is that it leaves me fearing that it will happen again. Ah! The vicious cycle of anxiety. Never ending.
