A panic attack is, from my experience, a bout of tension, and fear, where the person suffering the attack is rendered without much power over themselves. Thus, an attack cannot last forever, but doesnt have to be particularly short. So my best guess would be from fifteen-twenty minutes to a few hours.

A panic attack doesnt last that long if you know how to handle it properly, just take deep breaths, and grab a glass of water.

They reach their peak in about 10 minutes. They just tend to come. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes for them to subside, in most panic attacks.

It depends on the severity. They can last from a couple of minutes to a few hours. It's best to breathe and find something soothing to take your mind off of it.

A panic attack will not last longer than 20 minutes, if you do proper breathing & mindfulness exercises. Remember, a panic attack is just your brain going into an overdrive mode and fooling your body into thinking you are in danger, when you aren't really. Panic attacks are conquerable, and they will always, always end, no matter what.

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.

It's different for everyone. Some people have it for few minutes, while some other people can have it for an hour or more.

Panic attacks last as long as you are panicking. To stop them you need to take deep breathes, think about something else/ distract yourself and just calm down becuase it will be okay in the end

Panic Attacks vary but normally they last for about 15-35 minutes. It all just depends on the person and how serious the loss of breath is.
