Chris,
There are two parts to an anxiety attack. First, you need to tell your doctor so you can get meds to help you through the attack. I have propanolol, a blood pressure medication. I only take it when an anxiety attack does not subside on its own.
Second, you need to try to keep track of your anxiety triggers. I get them from being in to much chaos or stimulation, both visual and auditory. By learning to avoid these triggers, I have kept the anxiety attacks at bay. I can usually tell before the attack that I need to get away from the overstimulating environment. My wife is also very sensitive to notice my behavior or the excessive stimulation.
The best way I resolve an anxiety attack is to get to a quiet dark place. I also have my recovery music.
You will need to experiment to find what works for you.
I am sure there are many here who have their own techniques. Maybe they will post their tricks.
I have only had two times that I could not identify a trigger.
My best to you.
