How frequent are anxiety attacks usually?

I haven’t had many anxiety attacks but the only ones I have had are when I was worried about what my parents or partner might think about my job. I have always felt better when I told the truth and came clean to them. I know this might not be a possibility to some people. But trust me, it wasn’t the best for me either. It depends what you want for yourself. I am very happy with my career choice and the happiest I have ever been, my friends support me also. If you experience anxiety attacks please just keep in a comfortable place and keep yourself safe.

It really depends on the person and their triggers. I've seen it anywhere from 5-6 times per month depending on the person. For me, my attacks happen every once in a while. It really depends on a) what your triggers are and b) what is going on in your life to cause the attacks. If you can pinpoint the triggers, it's easier to stop or slow down the attacks because you know how to remove yourself from the situation. Yes it's hard finding out what your triggers are, but once you have a hold on them, it gets way better.

Anxiety attacks depend on the triggers. The first step is to identify those triggers, for example crowds, public speaking, social gatherings, exams, workplace issues, health issues, relationship problems etc. These are situations where the person has fear of uncertain outcomes. It’s often involved with muscle tension and a general feeling of uneasiness. Symptoms include fatigue, hypervigilance, restlessness and irritability. Anxiety is often related to a specific situation. It tends to build up and continue for some time. If you know when to recognize the signs that you are stressed or overly anxious, you may be able to take some action. Headaches, an inability to sleep, or overeating may all be signs that it is time to take a break or ask for help. If you can learn to recognize what makes you feel anxious, you may be able to take action. Perhaps you have taken on too many tasks? Can you ask someone to help? Does coffee or alcohol make it worse? Consider cutting down. As a first step, talk to a professional or a listener on 7cups.com about it.

I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but mine usual come about 4 out of 7 days a week, and last around an hour at the longest. My sister’s happen more frequently and they last longer. She usually has them about every other day. Her’s also tend to last around 3 hours at the longest, and the shortest ones are about an hour. It really depends on how well you can calm yourself. The first few before I knew what they were for me lasted up-toward 2 and a half hours, the first lasting until said sister mentioned before found me. I’m not sure how long that particular one lasted.

It usually lasts from 5 to 20 minutes. But it may last even longer, up to a few hour If these attacks happen often they are called a panic disorder.

It varies. Some people have panic attacks once every few years, some have panic attacks several times per day. At my worst I was having them almost every day, and occasionally more than once a day. At my best (after diagnosis) I was having them a few times every few months. Now, I'm having them a few times per week.

Frequency of anxiety attacks vary depending on many different factors which are specific or unique to an individual. For example, frequency of anxiety attacks are dependent on how severe one's anxiety it, therefore, the more severe one's anxiety is the more frequent it may be. Other factors that can affect frequency of anxiety attacks are: environmental activity, magnitude of an upcoming event, one's preferences toward an expected outcome, how well plans are being carried out, etc. Therefore, based on various factors that can contribute to how frequent one can have a anxiety attack, it can mean that some people can have anxiety attacks more frequently than others.

Anxiety attacks, or panic attacks affect everyone differently and it is important to look at your specific circumstances and current state of mental health. Although there doesn't seem to be a timeline for how often anxiety/panic attacks occur. If you feel you are having frequent or prolonged anxiety attacks, it would be best to seek expert advice from your health care provider.

This can vary greatly from person to person. Every individual experiences anxiety differently and in a unique way, so it is impossible to give an average of how often people experience them. In lieu of this, anxiety attacks are triggered by different things for different people - usually in relation to the type of anxiety they have as well. This is why it is important to be understanding to those who feel as if they have anxiety or who claim that they've experienced an anxiety attack (or multiple of them), because there's a high chance that they're right even if what they describe isn't the usual way that anxiety attacks as perceived. Along with this, no matter the frequency of anxiety attacks, anxiety as a mental illness is serious and can be debilitating, and should be treated with care and understanding.

How long is a piece of string? In other words there is no one correct answer. Anxiety attacks are unique to each individual and there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to anxiety attacks. What one person experiences, doesn't mean another person will experience the same. And no matter how frequent they are, does not mean they are any less frightening. Most panic attacks last between 5 to 20 minutes long but have been known to last up to one hour also. If you are concerned I would advise that you speak with your doctor or other medical professional such as a therapist.
