What Causes Periodic Anxiety, Claustrophobia And Quite Sudden Onset?

I suffer physically from periodic anxiety, clausterphobia , quite sudden onset but not often and have never had this occur before this past year. What's causing it, is my diet related to this? I can't see any obvious difference in my routines, habits etc.... I am physically active, 40 year old mom of two (if that helps??)

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Claustrophobia is the fear of having no escape and being in closed or small spaces or rooms. Are you getting it right? For every occurrence, there has to be a trigger. Diet has very little to do about it. It has to be your lifestyle. Prepare a log sheet of every activity you do in a day. also mark the occurrences of periodic anxiety and claustrophobia. Over a week's time, you should get a pattern. Or continue the log till you get a pattern.

Or, the given details are not enough to diagnose your problem.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
