When my wife had an anxiety attack (her first one), I had her use a paper bag and breath into it. I was talking to her the whole time and had her "only concentrate on her breathing". I then elevated her feet to keep her from possibly going into shock. Remember that anxiety attacks are a symptom; not a problem into themselves. You will likely need to seek professional help to get at the underlying issue that caused the attack in the first place. The causes can vary from major amounts of stress to certain forms of psychosis. Don't worry about that word "psychosis". Everyone has a psychosis, per Freud, it is only when you can no longer handle them that it becomes a problem. Good Luck!
Updated:: If anxiety attacks take over your life then you should seek medical help but if they're not interfering with your life there are a few things I've noticed that help you calm yourself. Taking deep and rhythmical breaths, walking around whether it's your house or neighborhood, listen to calming music, light a candle, or watch your favorite TV show. Not all anxiety lasts and most attacks are only 10 to 30 minutes. They're usually hereditary also. I've done a lot of looking up on this because I suffer anxiety attacks often but they don't really interrupt my life just a few moments of anxiousness. :) Hope this helps as well!
