Panic attacks: If she can find a quiet place - do so. Breath in slowly & deeply through nostrils. Fill lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then slowly begin to exhale through an open mouth. Repeat at least 12 times, longer if needed . If she hasn't been assessed for panic/ anxiety - that would be prudent. Anxiety is no fun BUT it is treatable.
