I have it a lot, have had it since I was a girl. You just soldier through. The less I think about it and get my mind on other things, the less I panic about it. If you have a prn benzo, you can try that or low dose Seroquel. Chamomile tea, lavendar essential oil might help. Try grounding techniques, there are lots you can google. Cold temp works best for me, holding my hands under cold running water, closing my eyes focusing solely on the temp of the water or same with a glass of ice water, ice pack. But mostly you just have to know you will come out the other side eventually and it will go away. It is likely to recur, so you have to prepare for that. Since it's been happening to me since I was very young, maybe I'm more used to it than other people. But I still don't like it.
