I Have Had a Panic Attack

It was last Sunday and it was my first. It was so horrible.
Today it's two weeks since I found my dad died on his bed. It was the most awful thing I lived before but I could cry, be sad, talk about what he used to say to me and things he did...but suddenly, without expecting I found such a terrible anguish. I couldn't appart from my mind his face when I was calling him. I was so nervous and scared.
Luckily, the doctor arrived a gave a valium shot to me.
I'm worried about having another attack. I suffer anxiety and I'm being treated for that but I nevef had a panic attack before.
What I'm working with meditation didn't help me. I couldn't focus on anything else but the bad I was feeling and trying to look for a solution in vain.
What would you do in these cases?

I have had panic attacks too and though not very often I do concentrate on breathing - sounds obvious but seriously remember to breathe and slowly, deeply if you can just to calm things down.... works for me... best wishes though!!
