How long does a panic attack last?

The signs and 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.

really depends on the person, it could last 2-3 mins it could last 20-40 mins. it all depends on how the person handles there issues

No one can determine how long a panic attack can last. Everyone is different in the way they cope, or handle emotional situations. Finding a good healthcare provider or therapist who can provide one with coping mechanisms or strategies can make a difference in the way you think or feel. And might even determine how long or how little you are able to deal with and handle a tough situation.

Panic attacks can vary from a minute to hours. If your panic attack has been going on for hours you should contact and paramedic or on call doctor.

Until you've calmed down enough to relax yourself. I think coming out of a panic attack, realization and relaxation are the most important traits to have. Realizing what you're feeling and relaxing yourself are very important.

Panic attacks don't seem to have minimum or maximum time. Depends on the person and surroundings. If they're comfortable and it happens suddenly, it might go away quicker. But if they're in the middle of taking an exam and have to stay in a classroom for two hours, that panic attack might as well last for two hours.

I think it can depend on the person/what its about. For me personally, they last until i calm down, but for some people it can be a 5 second thing. It also depends on how fast we dismiss the thought or think about it. Hopefully this helps/answers your question

A panic attack can last anywhere from 5 - 30 mins. The duration of the attack also depends on the situation you are in. If you are receiving continuous triggers then it might get worse. The wise thing to do is get yourself to a safe and positive location as soon as you can or request for help from a friend or colleague. Trying to breath faster will only make it worse. Focus on inhaling slowly from the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Personally, I have found it helpful to keep focusing on a happy memory or individual in you life. I hope all this helps. Remember everyone reacts differently so find what suits you best.

panic attack episodes can vary depending on your ability to control them. 10-15 minutes is average.

Panic attacks aren't something that can be measured easily. I've had panic attacks that last for seconds, and those that seem to go on for hours. If you feel like you're having long panic attacks, and frequently, definitely look into talking with someone about it. Your Doctor would be the best first choice. The best thing to do when having a panic attack is breathe deeply, and politely excuse yourself from the area, while you take a few moments away from everyone and everything to calm down.
