Panic attacks are basically just your nervous system going into fight or flight and dumping a bunch of adrenaline into your body. That’s what causes the shaking, the hyperventilation, the disorientation, etc. Sometimes it helps to so something physical (if you can) to help burn through that adrenaline, basically tricking your brain into thinking you successfully ran from or fought the threat. So like a short sprint of running, spinning around, jumping jacks, or bouncing up and down.

Also weirdly- acting out fight scenes in a goofy way kinda works. Like - hiyyyah wapow- karate kid style- fight the air. Be silly about it (maybe not in front of people bc you might get some looks lol)- but just- fight that invisible air demon. It both burns off that adrenaline and is goofy enough to distract you
