Do whatever you can to get your mind off of the feeling of panic. This can stave off an attack and calm your mind and soul.
Apply deep breathing techniques to shorten the duration of a panic attack. Breathe slowly in through the nose into the lower lungs, watching your stomach area rise with each breath. Breathe in to the count of five and out again to the count of five. Try to do this ten times and you should start to feel better.
