Plant your feet firmly on a surface, if you're at home you can elevate them as well. Plant your hands flatly on a surface. Breath in deep over a 3 second period, exhale over a 1 second period. If this isn't working for you, inhale a deep breath, and hold it. Count to 10. Focus on one object. Exhale after you count to 10. Breath in after 2 seconds. Repeat as needed.

Take a big breath. Go to a secluded space. Take a look around the room for anything that calls out you. When you find something that attracts you, stick with it and think about how it makes you feel: safe? secure?. Slowly recall all the good memories that you can associate. Remember that everything you are going through has a solution. Slowly you'll calm down and then you address the situation more cognitively.

Avoid situations that may lead to a panic attack or trying to focus on what is real and not what your emotions tell you that is real.

I have visited a doctor last month because I have been getting very frequent panic attacks and he told me not to drink caffeinated stuff and breath in and out slowly during panic attacks.

Panic attacks can be frightening, but there are some quick ways to reduce symptoms. Taking slow, deep, mindful breaths will calm your nervous response. This is particularly helpful if you are experiencing physical symptoms like trembling and a fast heartbeat. If you know what has triggered this attack, it is a good idea to remove yourself from that situation. Drinking a glass of water can help as well, as this naturally slows heartbeat and provides you with something to do.

Deep breathing! I know this sounds like a trick everyone says, but it really does work. Take a deep breath in through your nose and then out your mouth and count aloud. I do think whenever I feel my panic attacks coming along.
