You mention 'all the stress' in your life now.  This stress may very well be behind the return of your anxiety and panic attacks, it frequently is for many of us.
As mammo says, see your doc and get a good physical.  If you got treatment for anxiety in the past then you know how to go about doing what worked for you then.  If not, then ask your doctor for a referral to a good psychiatrist and/or therapist.

It's quite possible, but it's best to see you're doctor to have other causes ruled out before assuming it's anxiety.  If you find your symptoms are a result of anxiety, please  let us know so we can help and support you as you go thru this.  I wish you all the best and take care.
