What could cause a sudden onset of anxiety\panic attack in a healthy 50 year old ?

Panic?: If medical conditions such as lack of balance from active ear infection, are ruled out, then possible panic attack. In most cases of panic onset, the trigger or immediate cause is unknown. Further medical workup is warranted.

Anxiety: Anxiety is mostly caused by misperceiving situations or interactions. Take inventory of your recent dealings with people and situations. It is possible that something is troubling you that you have not allowed in your awareness. Confide in someone close to you to see if you uncover the origin of your distress. Consult with your doctor to rule out any medical issues. Best wishes.
