hmm sounds like you have similar symptoms to me.

I get tight chest, and panicky symptoms least when I expect it.

I have been suffering from this for over a year now, what i have done that has helped me however, is printed out the symptoms of anxiety, and put it somewhere so I can reference it, so when I am having an attack I cna reference it an reassure myself.

I as yet have not found out what triggers my attacks, as like you it seems to be random.

Best wishes D.
