Panic attacks are normally triggered by a specific event/situation. It would be hard to pin point why your anxiety kept happening without knowing your exact situation. There are several risk factors that may help develop the presence of panic attacks. Major transitions in life such as graduating, or moving to a new home, or working on a new job, or having an addition to the family can trigger the aforementioned attack. Stressful periods in life can also be a threat. A death of a loved one, job termination and relationship problems are a few examples of such. Other emotionally disturbing causes include traumatic events like physical or mental abuse, accidents, or perhaps witnessing a crime. There are many different types of anxiety that can lead to panic attacks, so try to identify which one it is that is affecting you e.g. social, physical. Once you have identified what it is that is triggering these anxiety attacks, you can start to get the panic under control.

Panic attacks can re-occur if something triggers it if you had traumatic experiences or worrying about what the future holds.

In my experience, panic attacks are a signal that there is something in my life I've been avoiding. It could be an emotion that I don't want to or have been unable to confront; it could also be a situation in my life that I haven't been dealing with effectively. The point is, there is something somewhere I'm either actively avoiding or not paying enough attention to. The panic attack is my body's way of informing me I'm not approaching something in as healthy of a manner as I could be. However, it does not imply that I've done something terrible or wrong. Its simply a mind/body connection that is trying to get my attention. It sometimes helps to frame panic attacks as a kind of "teacher" who is working behind the scenes of your psyche to get you to notice something. Panic attacks are frightening for sure, but they can be a prompt to help us go within ourselves and get to the bottom of what's going on in our lives and show us where we may need some help.
