Adrenaline...: You are probably getting little surges of adrenaline, most commonly due to low blood sugar. Avoid the simple carbohydrates, eat frequently, like every 2-3 hours, and exercise regularly. Have a doctor check a 2 hour Insulin resistance blood test. Anxiety gives you more adrenaline as well. You probably get shakey, irritable or cloudy thinking if you don't eat for awhile, right?

Generalized Anxiety: Sounds like generalized anxiety, which is repeat episodes of excessive worry that occur more days than not. Many symptoms from this condition are generated just by thinking of anticipated events. Begin by scheduling a visit with your primary care physician to rule out other causes. If findings are unremarkable, follow up with a mental health provider.
