You should really try cognitive behavioural therapy. It can really help with anxiety. Then when you have an attack you will have the tools you need to get through it.
Also, try to distract yourself as much as possible and remind yourself that you are not going to die from the attack. That you will get through it.
But I highly recommend CBT.
