Look into biofeedback. It's good for in the moment, and you can do the exercises anytime. Find techniques that work for you, and do them. I give my system a direct order and am deliberately breathing and focusing on my heart beat while it works through. Be patient with yourself while your chemicals shift out of panic. It takes a few minutes. Don't know how else to explain that. It will pass, and you will keep on with your day.

This. PTSD here, and went to a therapist who used bio-feedback and trigger identification to calm my jittery butt down. One of the techniques was to put a sticker anywhere you got stress, so it would cue the meditation learned via biofeedback. You should've seen my monitor at work.
