Cora,
I'm glad you posted so that we know you are hanging in there. Can you call your doc? Hopefully there is a medication that can help you with the panic. In the meantime, like Daisy said, just breathe. That's one thing you can do that is in your "tool bag". Breathe in through your nose, using your diaphragm, so that your belly rises with each breath in. As you exhale, do it slowly, through pursed lips as if you were blowing out a candle gently. Try to make the exhale part last longer and longer until it lasts for at least a count of four. The more you can focus on and slow your breathing the less panic your body can produce.

Take care!
