A couple things that could potentially help:

- Proper breathing techniques. Focusing on your breathing, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.

- Close your eyes and try to think of happy memories.

- Blowing on your thumb. Put your thumb in your mouth like you're going to suck on it, but blow instead. This will help reset your heart rate.

- Look at the ceiling. This will help ease the head spinning sensations that sometimes come with anxiety attacks.

- Tapping your fingers on your face, shoulders or leg. Drumming fingers rhythmically can give a sense of calming.

These will help with the symptoms, but not the cause. The best way to deal with anxiety attacks is to identify the source of them. If you can identify the source, you will be more able to resist future onsets. Good luck tc, anxiety attacks suck but are beatable.
