A panic attack is a condition of adrenaline being released into your bloodstream. A message of fear sends a signal to the adrenal glands that there is an emergency.
Relax by taking slow, deep, complete breaths. Calm yourself by remembering that you are only having a panic attack and that nothing more serious is happening to you. Continue to take slow, deep, complete breaths. Slow, deep, complete breaths will relax your body, which is the first step to reversing the release of adrenaline.
Stop Negative Thinking. Accepting your feelings is very important. Minimizing this experience usually serves to perpetuate it. Fear is a positive emotion that reminds you to take care of yourself. Listen to your feelings, take good care of yourself, and keep your emotions in proportion to the situation by keeping an appropriate perspective.Thanks for using webanswers_!

Please get the book Hope and Help for your Nerves by Clare Weeks to get all the information you need to cure yourself from anxiety and learn ways to never have them again. I had bad anxiety and read this book and it cured me. I have recommended it to hundreds of people and they have all been helped.
Deep breathing, using homeopathic remedies like Rescue Remedy by the Bachs Flower Essence company or Calms Forte by the hylands company will all help tremendously. Just know that Anxiety cannot kill you and you will get through it. The book will change your life. Best of luck!

I actually get tons of anxiety attacks but I've learned to control them using some meditation techniques that I would like to teach to you. I would also recommend doing them before bed, or anytime you need to unwind.
The first technique: The Bubble
Imagine a protective bubble around you. Go into complete details about the bubble, what does it look like? What color? pattern? material? shape? What does it smell like? Would you have any favorite objects in it? Do you hear any sounds or music in it? It's a protective bubble, so anything that could harm you just bounces off or it slows it down so it can't hurt you. Use humor and breathing ot your advantage
The next technique is called 5 - 4 - 3
When feeling anxious or having a panic attack, stop and focus on:
5 things you see
4 things you hear
3 things you can touch
Repeat until you are calm. Breathe and focus on each item
Third technique - Safe Place
Close your eyes and think of a place that you feel safe and happy in. Picture it in your mind. What do you see? Be specific, just like with the bubble. What does it look like? What objects do you see? What colors? What do you hear? Is it day or night? What do you smell? This is best to do in a quiet place if you can, and is very good for getting to sleep at night. Use it with slow, deep breaths
These were just off some notes a psychologist gave me, but if you need anymore, just look up some meditation techniques online. I really hope this helps you!
