I've had panic attacks before and it is frightening. I found that I didn't trust the people who were around me at the time but that just made the situation worse. I've found that by listening and putting faith in those with me helped a great deal. Also if I occupy my brain by reading something so have a magazine or a book or even a poem on a piece of paper to hand and that should help. The one thing that has prevented me from having panic attacks for two years is having a mantra to repeat. You can do this silently in your head or by speaking it if you're very scared. I don't know about you but I myself believe in God and so I find if I say 'in the name of jesus christ depart' then it works and makes me feel a lot calmer. Another one I've been told is 'I'm a healer not a harmer' they taught me this one while I was staying in hospital when I had panic attacks there. Basically a mantra is something that is easy to remember and that helps you to calm down. It will work and it will get better with time.
