A particular substance, medicine, or medical condition may cause your anxiety.
If this best describes your anxiety and you can contribute your anxiety to a specific drug or medical condition, then it is very likely that the identified substance or the general medical condition induces your anxiety. While the anxiety you feel is very real, appropriate treatment may require a careful and comprehensive assessment of multiple factors (which may include your physician) to determine the cause of your anxiety.

While you may experience anxiety on a regular basis, it is not likely that you are suffering from an anxiety disorder and effective and appropriate treatment may be best prescribed by your physician.
