The only advice I have is meds, exercise and therapy, keep your self busy to take your mind of things, this might help to prevent or make an attack tolerable.
I to am waiting for CBT I have heard good and bad reviews, but its no quick fix and it takes a while,I dont think its a cure I think it helps you cope with anxiety better.
Have you been checked out at doctor?

At first I took to my bed but now I try to keep busy and it does help.
I did have to resign from work because of it, I have good days and bad days but at the end of the day we just have to learn to live with it.
My meds were changed yesterday so its a scary time for me, My gp has referred me to a psychiatrist so I just take one day at a time

I dont take anything for it, if it happens I lie propped up in bed until it passes, sometimes it last a day sometimes a week, its nasty and I cant function with it just learn to live with it. but it is one of the main reason I had to quit work

I dont think there is a quck fix to any mental illness it took me 4 years under a psych doctor to get my meds right for my depression, so it might take the same again to get it right this time round with the added anxiety.
I wish I could come off meds completley, but I was hospitalised by depression a few times over the years and its not nice
