I`m not sure I can offer any sound advice but I can sympathize. On the rare occasions I have been in big money games ($100+ buy-in ticket is my idea of a big game lol) I also have had panic attacks when I am doing really well. As soon as there is a possibility of getting a big win, my game goes out the window and I genuinely feel unwell. I suffer with anxiety in day to day life so I am prescribed medication for it which helps,  I have taken Beta-blockers (Propranolol) in the past but the idea of taking medication to play a game that I usually play to relax & unwind  doesn`t seem right.
Perhaps playing relaxing music or ambient sounds in the back-ground may help, or trying mindfulness, grounding & breathing techniques. I find being in a kind of Zen-like mindset generally helps overall in avoiding tilt. I usually play conservative in the early stages then gradually become more aggressive once in the later stages but that's often easier said than done. Good luck & my best wishes to you and if anyone else has any advice on this, I also would be interested in coping strategies' when getting game jitters.
