If you know that a particular situation stresses you, and you feel that situation is impending, chances of that stress escalating into a panic attack increase. Traumatic events which cause significant stress in life, also can lead to these anxiety attacks. Fear On a similar note, if you know that you are afraid of a particular object or situation, and you feel you may be exposed to that object or situation, that fear may escalate into an anxiety attack.
