• EXPOSURE - The main reason why people are afraid
  of the next panic attack is that the physical
  symptoms are terrifying. If we avoid those
  circumstances, we may experience temporary relief
  from the uncomfortable symptoms but we never give
  ourselves the chance to see that it can be
  completely overcome, that it is unpleasant but
  temporary.

• SELF SOOTHE Say these words or write it
  somewhere where you can read them example your
  phone- I can be in control, these symptoms are
  uncomfortable but It will go away very soon. I
  wont die, I will not collapse.

• THERAPY If the panic disorder starts affecting
  daily life functioning then therapy is
  recommended to overcome the catastrophic thoughts
  regarding panic attack symptoms.Cognitive
  Behavioural Therapy CBT has been proven to be
  effective in teaching different ways of thinking,
  behaving, and reacting to the feelings that come
  on with a panic attack.
