There is no definitive answer to that question. Although I guess they last as long as you fuel them. I find that the best way to deal with a panic attack is to do something else. Distract yourself. At least until you have a safe place where you can talk to someone about your panic attacks and have them help you work through them.

It depends on the person and on the situation. You can have a series of panic attacks in one day but not one full attack in one day.

Any length of time. Sometimes they're just a few moments, other times they last hours. They can come on without warning, or give you some clue that they're coming.

It doesn't have to last long at all if you relax and remove yourself from whatever situation you might find yourself in, breathe in and out and relax, close your eyes and forget about anything on your mind that is having a negative impact on you

A panic attack can last between 10 mins to 30 mins usually, however sometimes a person may experience a series of panic attacks or one panic attack followed by extreme anxiety which can last much longer - up to several hours.

A panic attack can last anywhere from 5 minutes up to multiple days. If a panic attack last for more than an hour or so it is called an anxiety attack. Anxiety attacks are more drawn out and might have smaller climaxes, whereas a panic attack is really bad for about ten minutes, usually, but then goes away quickly.

Personally anywhere for 5-50 minutes, though the worst part will usually be the first 15 minutes. But it is different for everyone I think.

It is different for everybody. For me personally they can last from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depends on how bad it is. Usually the more I have in succession the longer they get.
