Set up a plain with your school Office and guidance councilor to have a place to go and to let the teacher's know whats going on. And to set up a way to learn what do to help you cope with the issue at hand.

I personally go to the band room and sit in there for a few minutes. Or I go to the bathroom. You on yourself the best. Whatever you feel comfortable with is what can help you over power a panic attack

If it was someone i knew, i would either Go up to them and calm them down with coping methods asking them to breath, and talking the through why they are upset and in the head space they are currently in, as im not the person who can deal with things i will take the person to learning support, or a teacher i know they can trust to deal with it more, and in a situation where the person who is dealing with a panic attack is in a state where it becomes harmful to someone i would get a teacher straight away to deal with it. if this was me having a panic attack i would try and calm my breathing and take myself to a teacher or someone takes me to calm down.
