I’ve experienced the symptoms of anxiety that you described. I have found guided meditation on YouTube or Calm helps me refocus. Deep breathing, I take a deep inhale for a count of four, hold a count of four and exhale a count of four. I repeat for a total of four times. I hope this helps you as well.
