It sounds crazy, but when I had them I would hold my breathe. Also, put a number on how panicked you are and try to view it as an outside observer. Welcome it, challenge it, embrace it. You're not going to die, so treat it like the passing inconvenience it is. Dreading it makes it ten times worse and puts it firmly in the drivers seat.
Also, I started taking a beta blocker for them. If I'm going into a stressful situation, it controls the physical symptoms.
ETA: And NEVER avoid a situation because you think you might have one. At that point, you're admitting defeat and letting it dictate the terms of your life. Think of them as a separate adversary in which you're in competition with.

I know what you're saying. I was caught off guard and didn't have them around when I needed them.
