As long as you:

-Move as little as possible
-Don't look like you're struggling
You'll be fine.

The most comfortable way I've found to do it is to being kind of positioned like you were kneeling on your hands and knees with your arms dangling toward the bottom of the pool. Crossing your ankles will help keep you from kicking. You can make little movements with your hands (like 'c' or 's' stories) to maintain your position or bring your head up to breathe.
Other than that, just try to relax and slow your breathing/heart rate.
