“Sudden spider phobia”
Out of the blue, I have a sudden and terrible fear of spiders. I was never like this before. Now, if I just hear the word "spider" I bolt! Why the sudden panic and fear about spiders? It is a real problem for me!

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am sorry to know that you have a sudden fear of spiders invoking panic. Not having evaluated you I am not able to tell you where it is coming from. You may want to find a licensed hypnotherapist who also does cognitive behavior therapy. They may regress you to the time where the fear began and help you heal from it. Alternatively, they may help you get desensitized to the fear. So, please seek help ASAP as even the word spider invokes the fear and associated panic.
Take care,
Dr. Sonpal

You may be having anxiety issues without even knowing or something else that is going on. A therapist can help.
Take a look at chapter on Phobias in Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Bourne 6th edition - will provide some insight. If this disrupts your ability to deal with everyday life seek out a psychologist who is experienced in dealing with phobias for help.
