A panic attack lasts for only a matter of minutes, but feels like a matter of hours. It feels such extended because you are panicking at such a high rate, and you don't know what to do.

Panic attacks feel like they last much longer than they actually do. The most important thing is to recognize what is going on and acknowledge that what is happening is just your body trying to cope. If you can calm yourself down using coping skills they are over with pretty quickly.

I have had many panic attacks myself. Personally, they last between 10-30 minutes depending on the techniques you use to calm yourself down. I find breathing techniques work the best for shortening the time of the panic attack considerably.

It is different for everyone, they can last from 30 seconds to ten minutes. The length is often affected by the environment the person is in when it hits, their experience with dealing with them, and who they are with

It depends on the person. It can be 5 minutes like it can be two hours. In most cases, it's only a few minutes though.

typically 5-15 minutes. Controlling your breath is the key to resolving a panic attack. Stay focused on the moment and control your breathing.
