You will be okay! I would look at it like this way, you know you are
having a panic attack, so you will not v*. You are just scared and need
to do something to calm yourself down. Try finding something that needs
to be cleaned or cleaned out, paint your nails, or take a bath. If I
find something to keep myself busy, I usually start calming down.

Try taking a cold shower or laying down with a freezing cold wash cloth over your face. Then try to breathe as slow as you can, really concentrate on breathing in and out slow and methodically.

This has happened to me alot. It'll start out small, and it'll escalate from 0-100 in about 5 seconds!! What I do is take deep breaths, and try talking to someone to get your mind off of it. Maybe a quick walk outside will help.
