The length of a panic attack varies, it depends on the severity of the panic attack as well as how the person copes with the attack. If a person can control their breathing and is aware they are going to have an attack, they length of the attack will be really short.

Panic attacks are pretty scary. The length and intensity of the attack can vary. However, I have found focusing on my breathing and thinking about positive things really helps me. Find something that helps you and when the panic attack happens focus all your attention on whatever helps you. It is very likely that it will help the panic attack end.

It really depends on the situation you are in, but try calming down when you have one, it helps.

From several minutes to couple of hours, it's different from person to person, and from situation to situation, depending what triggers it.

A panic attack can last for any amount of time, it just depends on your personal situation. If you feel it is getting out of hand then call someone who knows about your situation and who you trust.

About 10 minutes - an hour. The worst of it subsides in the first 10 minutes but you may still experience the after effects for a while
