Act Normal: Keep calm, cool, and collected. Don't make a big deal when your friend is experiencing a panic attack. Just be there and act normally calm.

Knowledge 2 Help: The more you know, the better you can help your friend. "panic attacks tend to start quickly and reach a peak within 10 minutes. The peak generally lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes before the symptoms start to settle. However, it can take quite some time for all the symptoms to subside." source=page on panic disorder by anxiety disorders assn' of british columbia (http://bit.Ly/pylkom).
