Try and focus when you are feeling nervous/anxious/discomforted. Decipher what around you is making you feel this way. Is it being in a crowd of people? Having to speak to others? Presenting yourself in front of an audience? It may help to understand the triggers and consider ways to resolve these.

i learned that there can be the smallest or maybe several things in my environment that are triggering my anxiety and if you cannot control whats within your environment, the best thing to do is take yourself out of that situation as quickly as possible, breathe, talk to someone if possible and try and figure out a solution. even if that means not re-entering that environment where you felt unsafe. you might want to seek out some help for your anxiety/panic attacks and figure out other ways of dealing with them as well :)

Pay attention to what you are doing and what you are thinking about when you have panic attacks. Also, sometimes there are no obvious triggers. Panic attacks can happen at any point in time with reason or no reason.

Perform data collection. For every time after you experienced panic attack, think of 3 things that happened before your panic attack. Write it down and keep collecting the data and hopefully soon, you'll be able to see the similarities from the episodes and that might help you pinpoint on your triggers

Mindfulness meditation can be a powerful tool to identify panic triggers and recognize early warning signs of an attack. In my personal experience, taking inventory of subtle changes in my body and mentality (without feeling a need to "fix" them) at the onset of panic has gone a long way toward helping me identify situations and stimuli which trigger my attacks, as well as helping me learn to ride out an attack when my symptoms feel uncontrollable.

You have to focus when you feel panic attacks. That way you can know. And you should not ever deny it. After the attack, think about it again, and you will surely know what triggers you. This works for me anyway.

I write what happened down so that later I can read everything and reflect on the situation. Maybe just be more observant on everything going on.

Whenever you have a panic attack, once you calm down you can try to remember what happened or what you did right before the panic attack occurred. After a few times you should be able to tell a few of your triggers.

If you can feel yourself starting to close up or panic, before it gets too intense, youll be able to see that one is starting. Its always good to take space in those situations and not try to force anything.
