Be impressed that you're able to log onto EP and type those words into the Q&A area. Most people can barely function if they're having a severe panic attack, much less do all that.

Kierkegaard says , "anxiety is the dizziness of freedom". you feel anxiety because you recognize that you and you alone are responsible for your actions. this produces the two-sided feeling of simultaneous dread and exhilaration.

If you can, get a paper bag and breath into and out of the paper bag.
Remember, there is nothing to be afraid of. You will not suffocate. Just stay away from sharp edged furniture for now. The very worst thing that could possibly happen to you is that you might pass out from hyperventilation...and that would instantly cure you.
If you were to pass out, your breathing would immediately return to normal.
If you feel a little odd and woozy, remember, there are people who take drugs just so they can feel exactly like you are feeling right now, and they do it on purpose. You get to experience it for free.Like (2)

Take deep breaths and try to relax (easier said than done, I know.)
I'm not sure what you're anxious about that triggered them so I don't know exactly what to say. Try looking up tips through Google too.
I'm sorry you're going through this. :(Like (2)

Concentrate on your breathing. In through the nose and out through the mouth. Your mind can be your best ally or your worst enemy.

Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Focus on that.
