A couple of things i find helpful are shaking my hands very hard (as if flicking off water), tapping all over my body as hard as i can tolerate and chewing gum ......very quickly...lol. I know these things sound strange, but i personally dont have any success with relaxation methods as i find my mind wanders off. I hope you are able to see a therapist as this can also help. There is a book that has been a god send to me , it is called. "Complete self help for your nerves" by Dr Claire Weekes. There is light at the end of the tunnel, hang in there.

I shake my hands too and pound on my chest to make it go away. Im really trying the deep breathing and thinking about the air going in and out of my lungs. sometimes that helps
