Did you see my post in the other forum?

It sounds like it is a common problem as several circuits are affected and not something to do with your additions.

Also since it is affected my reseting the main breaker the problem is most like a loose connection in the panel and a defective panel.

A loose connection can cause the panel to overheat and cause more damage. Even start a fire.

Breakers trip because of too MUCH current. In general a lose connection might not cause it to trip.
