It's like someone in the game said. The only thing you can really do is wait it out. If you were there in person, I think it's if it persists for 5 (?) minutes, then call 911. There isn't really much you could do if you're just there in-game.

Yes, and not even specifically because of this. But because they're loving stupid looking.

Track the IP (somehow)... Get their local city... Report it to their local emergency services... They track the person... Rush over there...
You know, just stuff that would probably all take so long that if it were a severe seizure he'd already be dead or fine.

yeah in real life there still isnt much to do. just make sure their head is resting on a soft surface, make sure nothings blocking the throat and wait it out. if it wont stop after 5 minutes then yeah call 911
tbh people in-game mostly did the right thing - they should've backed away a bit and forget off with the flashing avatars and perhaps quieten down to calm him further but otherwise there's not much they can do
if the person's prone to seizures i'd say being on vr is really dumb. its bad enough with games on a screen but this is a step even further
