    Hi Brian,

    Best thing to do is get yourself a glass of water and open the window a little to get some fresh air. Keep breathing deeply and try and calm yourself down. Don't worry about your symptoms - they will pass.

    Try and rationalise and lay down, listen to some music or have the TV on and chill out. It will pass !

    Hi Brian, breath into your stomach fir a count of six hold it for 2 and slowly exhale for count if 8. Focus on something, even your hand or clock and not what your head is saying.

    Tell yourself this is a panic attack and will pass, it is nothing that can hurt you in anyway.

    the panic attack will peak in 10-15 minutes then subside and go.

    take deep slow breaths in hold then out Sit quietly or lie down once your breathing is under control tense and relax your muscles systematically one group after the other.

    See if that helps
