| I forgot to add one thing - Another thing that helps me when the panic attack are actually happening (mine last only about 3-10 minutes, too), is to start talking to someone. Even if you are so disoriented that you have no idea what you're talking about, just strike up a conversation. This may sound weird, but for me it works. Honestly, I had a panic attack (for no apparent reason) just a few minutes ago. As it was happening, I ran into a friend who started talking to me - and it snapped me out of it pretty quickly. this way you force yourself to think about something else, so your mind can't run away with itself.
