There are a couple of things I do for myself that seem to help to at least lesson the severity and make it easier to deal with.
First of all is I work hard to control my breathing. When I get really upset I tend to hold my breath. So I make as much effort to concentrate on my breathing....keeping it deep and slow...cleansing breaths. That does 2 things....helps to supply the oxygen to all parts of the body and takes my mind off the attack at the time.
Once I've been able to get my breathing under control, I then can find someone to talk to....one of my kids or my husband either online or on the phone. Hearing their voices and just knowing we are communicating also helps to calm me.
Hope you find something that helps you work through your attacks.
