Answers:
I recommend deep breathing. To do this you need to breathe into your abdomen, rather than expanding your ribcage. Put your hand on your abdo where your belly button is. Then pull the air in through your nose by expanding your abdo as if it's a balloon, so that you can feel your hand move. Exhale through your mouth. Concentrate on a slow rhythmic pattern of breathing.
You can also try wiggling your toes, this helps to keep the circulation moving. Good luckHealth Question & Answer

There is one method that may help you with your anxiety.

Think of yourself as a giant chess board, your thoughts, emotions and feelings are the chess pieces. No matter what you do and how hard you try You can't move the chess pieces. You can't stop your thoughts or feelings, they will always be there and will always come back you just have to find a logical way to deal with them.

Just relax and live through the experience and try to look inside yourself and observe the actual thoughts and feelings that you believe will go on.Health Question & Answer

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.

But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to....

Always remember to breathe.
sounds simple , but we forget to breathe while panicking.
try some simple breathing excersizes,
like taking deep breaths and controlling your exhale, as if you were letting the air out of a balloon while stretching the opening of the balloon.
you will in a matter of minutes or seconds you will feel your heartbeat start to slow down. breathe deep, long breaths and you will feel the control you have over your body. Imagine, while exhaling, that all of the bad energy is leaving you. ( i know it sounds hokey, but it works!)
I hope this helps, as anxiety sucks, but remember you are in control when you control your breathing. Be well.Health Question & Answer

Breath at a rate of about 12 breaths per minute.

Your taking in more breaths, breathing out too much carbon di oxide which regulates the PH of your blood (blood gas PH).
This results in respiratory alkalosis and the result dizziness.

Ion transport in the brain malfunctions.

You need to balance your carbon di oxide levels by breathing normally, not fast when you panic.

All of this above only applies if it is confirmed that you do not have another illness leading to this problem.
