Remember to breathe. Sounds stupid but when you are waiting for that panic or trigger you are probably holding your breath. Which makes you more tense and hyper vigilant to whatever your symptoms are normally.

Yeah, controlled breathing for two minutes at a time helps.

Yes. Breathing techniques, cognitive therapy, and anti-depression medications work well. Beta blockers are also a great choice because they are relatively safe and can just be popped as needed. They reduce the symptoms of anxiety rather than treat the overall problem.
