Feel the wire feeding the breaker, is it warm? is the wire copper or aluminum? Is the wire oxided? how old is the installation/ breakers? Any idea of the current draw on Items using the circuit?
I STRONGLY suggest visually inspecting every outlet/fixture on the circuit. A hot breaker is a powerful clue to several electrical fire dangers. Don't ignore it! The problem is probably a broken outlet or switch somewhere in the circuit or perhaps a nail or screw in the wall has hit the wiring. Good luck, Call an electrician, it's cheaper than a fireman.
