Going out for a walk or maybe even run a bit. If that is not possible eating or drinking something might help and by closing your eyes thinking about something really important and breathing deeply

Breath in slowly, and then count for ten seconds holding your breathe in,..Then letting it out in five seconds, it will help.

The best way to calm down is to take some deep breaths and get away from what is making you anxious for a moment. Do things like read or listen to music, and deep breaths always help. If you are in school try to calmly and politely ask the teacher if you can go to the bathroom or into the hallway to calm down. Usually the teacher would rather you leave than disrupt the class and will let you go.

Basically the most important things in my opinion to deal with a panic attack in progress is to talk about it with someone, to find someone to talk about it. To recognize that we are living something like that, then accept it, and to concious of our own body and to focus our mind in something, for example our breathing while we are in silence ideally with our eyes closed. But as I said before, the most important thing is to talk about it. To let go things from our chest.

Take deep breaths, close your eyes and try to distract yourself. Accept the panic attack, it's the kind of thing that can't undo. The more you accept that it's happening, the faster it'll come and go. Good luck x

Take deep breaths. Concentrate on your breathing. Don't think anything else other than your breathing. Just breath. It'll go away.
