No your wrong Anxiety attacks always have a trigger, even if its a small trigger its a trigger none the less,
We live in a highly stressful world.
Though I often get attacks via temper but I would never blame it on genetics
Attacks via temper ? That's an unusual one; have you worked out 'why' the temper ?

No its just another trigger I can deal.
If I feel anger and mull on it and it doesn't go away I feel the pushing sensation on my chest and the breathing and it all leads up to an attack,
I do have "ordinary" if you can call it that, attacks. half the time they are unexplainable,
Like when the bus driver stopped the bus for 5 misn cos he was early and all I wanted to do was scream at him to keep driving lol
I used to get attacks few times weekly I am right down to one monthly go me ;)

They are horrid though, especially the tingling in your lips

Just out of interest, can you think of a time when you were delayed, through no fault of your own, from something important ?;)

But, there is a predisposition for anxiety or panic attacks in the person's DNA.
That's moreorless what my doctor told me, I can recall clearly what he said, ' son, you'll always be anxious, it's part of your makeup'

Panic Disorder

The familial nature of panic disorder is supported by family history, with patients reporting secondary cases in 12 to 15 percent of their first-degree relatives (15). Interviews with family members found an age-corrected morbidity risk of 17% for panic disorder or agoraphobia with panic attacks, and the rate was 24% when subsyndromal panic attacks were included (15). The mean age of onset is 25 years and the sex ratio (F/M) is approximately 2-to-1. The range of disorders found in family members was limited to panic disorder, agoraphobia and subsyndromal panic attacks (54).

Limited twin data, based on 13 MZ and 16 DZ pairs, are consistent with the familial findings, both with respect to a genetic predisposition and its range of expression. Panic disorder, subsyndromal panic attacks, and agoraphobia appeared among monozygotic cotwins of panic disorder twins, and the aggregate concordance rate was 31%, compared with 0% for dizygotic cotwins (84). Segregation analyses of pedigrees and threshold models applied to aggregate recurrence rates are consistent with either a single-locus or a multifactorial mode of transmission (15, 59). Linkage studies of panic disorder are currently underway at a number of centers. In one study, approximately 30% of the genome has been screened with RFLP markers in 10-14 pedigrees, but no evidence of linkage was found (16).

I suggest you look at the site, this is only an excerpt re Panic disorder.;)
