I'm gonna try my best to help you, even though I'm not sure if all panic attacks are similar enough for my tips to work. But I've had panic attacks for 2 years now, and used to be slightly agoraphobic so I get them often. If you ever hyperventilate, brown paper bags are good to breathe into, it helps slow down the breathing. And what I usually do is make sure to sit down and close my eyes and breathe slowly and deeply while imagining some happy scenario or memory in my head. Usually I find that I easily come out of panic shortly after. I really hope you're okay. I'm sorry if I didn't help at all. Feel better! <3

Oh. And, I eventually got to the point where when I sensed an attack, I made sure to do the same thing right before it even happens, and it tends to stop it before it even comes. Anyways, just my experiences. Hope I helped.
