For me, generally around 15-20 minutes. If anything, panicking so intensely for that long wears you out.

I've experienced anxiety my whole life and they can last hours but they only last as long as you let it. Panic attacks stem from yourself and they go back to your head and once you are able to take control and remember that thing's are not as bad and as scary as they seem those panic attacks will get shorter and shorter and eventually fade away completely. Given proper self nourishment and time.

It really depends on the situation the person is in but normal I would guess about 3-6 mins or less

For me, generally about 2-5 minutes, but that's depending on the severity of what triggered the panic attack.

It really depends on how you handle it. It can last until you are out of the situation that caused it or with the right techniques it can last just about a minute. With the right experience, you can prevent having a uncontrollable panic attack in the first place.

There is no set time for a panic attack to last but the best thing to make it end quickly is to breathe, count to 10, and take deep breaths. You are really the only one that can help yourself, so take time to help yourself when you're going through tough times. Take care of yourself and spoil yourself! And the best thing to do is to try and take time out of every day to relax.

There is no set time. It depends on what your trigger is, the individual, how intense it is to name just a few factors.
