A panic attack usually only lasts for a few minutes, maybe 15-20 at most. Sometimes they can go away and then come back, go away and then come back. Usually breathing deeply into a paper bag will help it go away faster, as it regulates your breathing and helps some symptoms of it.

It depends how severe it is usually they only mast up to about 5-10 minutes. However if you use breathing techniques they usually end quicker as you calm down

A panic attack is different for every person. You can never determine the length of a panic attack because it depends on the person and the situation.

I can't speak for every panic attack sufferer, but mine last about 15+ minutes. My longest one was around 30. It's really recovering from the panic attack that is miserable for me because that can take me a couple of hours. I would say the "average" is 10-15 minutes.

usually no more than fifteen or twenty minutes. Although a lot of people experience much shorter ones, maybe only a couple of minutes.

Well It depends on who the person is and what is causing the panic attack. If the panic attack is severe it will last maybe a couple hours where if its not so severe it will only last a couple of minutes

That totally depends on the person, so there really isn't a viable answer for that. However, with the right tricks, company, and learning how to handle yourself in these situations you can really cut it down. Hope that helps. :)

A panic attack can maximum last 20 minutes. It can be shorter; but normally not longer. However it can feel a lot longer.

Mine usually last for about 20 minutes. As you have more of them and start to control them, they should get shorter!

There is no set time limit for how long a panic attack might last. Some might experience symptoms for only a few minutes and some could be an hour. Its important to recognize that you are having a panic attack, and when needed to be able to reach out for help.
