How long does a panic attack last?

depends on different people. For me it was almost 6-9 minutes, but for majority its like 2-5 minutes.

It lasts an average of 5 to 10 minutes but if the anxiety is long lasting it can make it feel like its longer than that because of the sensations.

It can last any amount of time. Depending on what triggers it, it may be only a few seconds or it can take an hour. Sometimes my initial attack last about 5-10 minutes, but the aftermath leaves me feeling like it lasts for hours.

It all varies on the situation and on who you are as a person. But if you do have a panic attack please refer to the self help guide we have here on 7 Cups.

Panic attacks can range from a minute or two up to 20 minutes. The adrenaline in your body will get burned up at a certain point so it just depends how big a response your body is mounting for a given attack. As the adrenaline effect fades there may be other symptoms of weakness, coldness, shaking, as your body begins to stabilize. Many people find these symptoms bothersome, but a welcome sign that the attack has passed the peak and is beginning to resolve.

A panic attack can last up to 20 minutes but you could multiple panic attacks one after another which makes it longer than 20 minutes.

symptoms of a panic attack develop abruptly and usually reach their peak within 10 minutes. Most panic attacks end within 20 to 30 minutes, and they rarely last more than an hour.

Panic attacks are different for every person. I've had a panic attack last ten minutes and I've also had ones that have lasted for almost an hour. There are many factors and if you are extremely upset and unable to calm yourself down, they will last longer. The important thing is to focus on your breathing technique and try to remind yourself that you will be okay and that no matter what you're feeling, it will not last forever.

for me a panic attack lasts about 10 minutes of a very powerful panic followed by 20 or so minutes of general anxiety

I find with my own it can be about 20 minutes but sometimes they can go much longer depending on what has set me off.
