I see.
My opinion is that it could easily be anxiety as I get the symptoms you list and there's no trigger I'm aware of a lot of the time. For me, part of my anxiety disorder is exactly that there is no reason to be anxious. Being anxious for a specific reason isn't necessarily a disorder depending on how strongly it affects a person. Just like depression doesn't need a trigger or external reason anxiety can randomly hit you. The physical symptoms that you describe are also something I experience with my anxiety disorder.
Your idea of what an anxiety disorder is seems to differ a lot from my personal experience with it. I also don't think there is anything unusual about sensing other people's anxiety or similar and being “infected“ by it for lack of a better word. I can get terribly distressed if I am around someone who is feeling certain negative emotions.
I know you say it's not anxiety, but so far I haven't read on single thing that would make me exclude the possibility. I'm also not claiming it definitely is anxiety because how would I know? I'm just offering the only explanation that I can think of that seems reasonable for me going by no other expertise than personal experience which obviously influences my opinion on this.
