For most people, about half an hour. I had really bad panic attacks that lasted for an hour, but rarely longer.

From my personal experience, I start getting anxious and a bad feeling in my stomach that builds up. Around 10 to 15 minutes is when I reach my peak. Lasts up to 30-35 minutes. Im usually able to calm myself down during the build up though.

The peak of a panic attack is usually 10 minutes, mainly averaging 25 minutes as your body gets exhausted. Anything longer than 40 minutes is quite unusual

They can be anywhere from a couple of minutes to even an hour at the worst, depending on how fast you are able to calm yourself down/extremity of situation. Having someone there to help calm you down may also help

As long as your thinking of all that's going on it won't stop, you have to take deep breaths, think what makes you do this, and count backwards from ten, and it will stop. Even drink water, it even helps.

It really depends. Mine have only lasted for a few minutes. I feel like it varies on how long it takes for you to get help or calm yourself down.

Panic attacks can be different in different people. I find I get shortness of breath and a feeling of uncontrollable fear and panic over me that can last from 30 seconds up to several minutes.
