First, let's try some controlled breathing: breathe in while forcing your belly out, breathe out by contracting the belly back in. Try this for a few minutes. You may also try breathing in on a count of 4, holding for a count of 4, exhaling on a count of four, holding on a count of four, and so on.
Chamomile tea and lavender can help. Walk away from the situation. Let negative thoughts disappear. Your reaction is their only power.
Medications such as xanax, valium, ativan, etc. are benzodiazipines- highly addictive anxiety medication. The thing is, you take it for anxiety, but once it wears off, the problem is STILL there.
Exercising more, drinking more water, adding a multi-vitamin, and a vitamin B complex may help as well.

Chronic anxiety disorders can benefit by treatment from a trained homeopath. But for short episodes of transient, self-limited anxiety, you can use the appropriate remedies.
Aconite is the medication of choice if your anxiety is the result of a sudden fright or shock. If you are grief stricken (such as when one of your loved ones die), the homeopath may give you ignatia. In situations such as stage fright and other anticipatory and performance anxiety, gelsemium is recommended. If you have anxiety accompanied by diarrhea, gelsemium is the preferred choice. Other homeopathic remedies are described below.
Begin with a 6x potency and take two tablets every two to four hours depending on the severity, or acuteness, of the illness. Once you begin to notice improvement, increase the intervals between dosages, and when it seems that improvement is well on its way, discontinue the treatment. If you use a remedy longer than necessary, it might tend to cause the symptoms to recur.
Take your remedy with a clean mouth free from drink, food, tobacco, toothpaste, or mouthwash. Allow the tablet or granules to dissolve in your mouth rather than swallowing them with water, and do not ingest anything except water for fifteen minutes after taking the remedy.

See your doctor first. I have found certain teas to be very soothing, but be a little careful of that because some herbs and some 'regular' medicines don't mix well.
Still, you can try using various aromas around the house- such as the lavender another suggested. If nothing else, it will smell pleasant.
Good luck!
