Those suck.

Two things to remember that will physiologically help:

1. Try to breathe in and out at the same rate. Hypoxia is what causes the numbness and tingling that can give you that "heart attack" feeling. It's an imbalance of oxygen and Co2.

2. Don't let it spiral. It's easy to get more and more and more worked up, which makes it more difficult to relax in turn. Like a snowball rolling down a hill and getting bigger. Try not to let it roll too far, if that makes sense. Breathe in for 5, out for 5, and try your best to find something you can do to distract yourself from the squirmy, panicky feeling.

Also, a change of environment can work wonders. Find your triggers if possible and avoid them or take a break from them if possible and change environments to somewhere you feel comfortable and in control.
