Symptoms of a panic attack usually reach their worst within ten minutes. On average most end within twenty to thirty minutes. It is rare for a panic attack to last longer than an hour. It is important to focus on your breathing and find somewhere comfortable to rest while you wait it out.

It really depends on the severity. Sometimes minutes, sometimes hours. If you find a way to cope it becomes much easier to handle.

It honestly depends on the person, and why they're having a panic attack. They can typically range from a few minutes to a few hours.

I can only go based on my personal experience. I have never seen anyone else having a panic attack. My panic attacks typically have a build up of less than thirty minutes while my actual attack lasts any where from two to seventeen minutes. It's the aftershocks that are long. It take a whole twenty-four hours for me to be back to normal.

A panic attack lasts as long as you let it. You have to slow down and let yourself breathe and really promise that everything is going to be okay. In for five, hold for three, out for seven. Everything is alright.

Panic attacks are never fun. In my experience, they can last for days. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, they last a few minutes.

It depends on how long your in the situation for and how bad it is. I've had them last just a minute and then for almost half an hour. Until you can calm yourself down or someone else can pretty much.

It varies from person to person. But when you have your panic attack, try to take a deep breath in and out and remember that you're the person in charge of your body. If you can keep focusing on your breath and that thought, you might be able to rid the panic attack sooner, rather than later.
