How do I write a panic attack?

My Co-Protagonist is having a panic attack but I'm not sure I wrote it right, I based it on personal experience, but the roots of it are different.

Basically I have him putting his knees on his chest while starting crying because my Main was yelling at him. then, when the main grabs something that's about to fall on my Co-Pro puts his arms up, and then starts crying and breathing heavily and faster.

I'm not trying to show his perspective, this is all from my Main perspective who directly tries to calm him down by showing him for a second the object that was about to fall, then he puts it down and shows his hands empty. He then asks the Co-Pro to imitate him while doing breathing exercises. After that, my Main asks Co-Pro if he can approach him, says that he's sorry for yelling, and tells him to go take a bath and change, so he can relax.

would this be correct, or apropiate?
