A panic attack can last anything between five and twenty minutes. It's not the same for every person with attacks as everyone is different.

I believe it depends on the individual, their stress levels and what has triggered the panic attack. It could last only a few minutes, to an hour or longer. If you feel panic attacks take over your life and last longer than you believe is necessary than I would talk to your doctor about it.

The average panic attack will last between 20-30 minutes but everyone is different, some people have very short attacks lasting only 10 minutes whereas some people could take up to an hour to calm down properly.

It can be a few minutes to hours. If you feel that it is becoming too much to cope with on your own, seek medical attention, they have medication to stop a panic attack.
