Panic attacks don't usually last long. The problem can be that you then anticipate the next one with a feeling of dread. Coming up with methods for coping is key to getting a handle on panic attacks.

Based on my own personal experience a panic attack can last from a few minutes to a few days. Luckily I have a dog that can tell when I am about to have one and he stays by my side and will bat at me with his paw until I sit down and pet him, it seems to calm both of us down.

Panic attacks are different for everyone and can last for different amounts of time depending on the situation, the individual and whether they are able to get their breathing back on track. For example if i have one during something like a blood test i can be okay after 20 minutes or so, but often it can be at least over an hour.

A panic attack can last anywhere between 2 minutes and 10 minutes during it's peak; after this time, the adrenline will begin to wear off, although you can still feel anxious with some symptoms (e.g., palpitations, shaking) for up to two hours afterwards.

A panic attack can last from fie minutes to twenty minutes. It's always important to remember it can't last longer than twenty minutes. Though you may experience a series of panic attacks, for say an hour, they will be no longer than twenty minutes

Having had a few, although not for several years, I'd say they last anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, with 15 minutes being an average and median.

A panic attack can last or seem to last for a while. The quicker you can realize it is a panic attack and start talking yourself down, while doing breathing exercises the quicker you can make it stop. It is a scary experience and it can be hard to calm down from. The breathing exercises and the self talk can help.

It depends on how drastic the panic attack is. Always remember that during the attack give yourself some space and time to get over the attack. Always calm down and take it 1 step at a time and always remember it will end just relax and breath.
