panic attack what to do

What can I do for my friend when they have a panic attack?

My friend has recently been evaluated medically prescribed Xanax for panic attacks they can get. I feel helpless every time they attack. Is what I can do as a drink drinking water pills? Please HELP! My friend is a man if that helps?

Just help them get through, comfort, and try to calm them. I used to talk to my ex of them are beginning to have one, then I would calmly ask her to explain why He was in a panic. Finally I reached a point where once she began to have one, call if I was not there to tell me what was happening and she spoke softly and calmly went to anguish. She was bipolar, it was easier to detect if it could have one, but as I said, calmly and rationally provide a shoulder and ear, and out of it.
