What do I make of this?
I had a sudden surge of anxiety and emotion while driving home today and I don't know what to do about it. I suddenly felt extremely stressed about something, then burst into tears, almost hysterical tears, and felt like something awful was about to happen, or already had happened. I'm sure it wasn't really a premonition or anything, but I still feel sick to my stomach and nervous. I have no idea what I could be nervous about. I'm not particularly stressed about anything...Any ideas on what just happened?

That sounds like a mild to moderate panic attack. Look at this link for the symptoms:

If you have had a panic attack you should call your doctor and book an appointment. Chances are if it's happened once it very well may happen again. Good luck!

It does sound as if you were having a panic attack. Another symptom is feeling like you couldn't breathe.
A couple of other ideas would be:
1.) Hormones. Are you a woman close to menopause?
2.) Spiritual oppression. If you are involved in any occult practices you could be dealing with demonic influences.
My first guess, though, would be panic attack. Do an internet search on what to do when you have one so that if it happens again you'll be prepared.

it might have been a panic attack.
