It depends on you. Some people know ho to cope and it ends quicker, but if you let the anxiety take over, it'll be as long as your brain takes to calm itself.

there is no certain amount of how long a panic attack lasts, as it depends on what caused the panic and whether there is a way to calm down from it yourself or from assistance

A panic attack will last anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes, though it will feel like much longer.

My panic attacks usually only last about 3-5 minutes start to finish (not including the deep sleep after), but it feels like they last for hours sometimes. That includes the funny light-headedness, hyperventilating, sweating, blurred vision, everything. So much to cram into 3-5 minutes...

Usually it's ten minutes but some people can have it worse. Personally, my panic attack can range from 7 till 15 minutes. People go through panic attacks in a different way. I usually space out, panic, tremble terribly, and usually feel so choked out. Although I've recovered from Anxiety as my last panic attack that was strong enough for me to remember was last year, panic attacks tend to come and go nonetheless.

It honestly depends on yourself, the situation and what you do during the panic attack. There is no set time.

The duration and symptoms of a panic attack can vary per person. For me, my panic attacks typically subside in 30 to 60 seconds; however, it can last much longer for others. It is hard to predict how long a panic attack will last, and it might often feel like time has slowed down while you are experiencing one, because you tend to be more focused on it passing. Panic attacks are very real and I am sending love to anyone who experiences them. One of the main things that helps me is to tell myself that I will be okay, and to focus on my breathing and/or name five things I can see within my environment
