In the moment they feel like forever right?! However, the panic is brief, ( moments to minutes). Without therapy or medication management they may continue.

Rarely last more than a few minutes

The duration of anxiety attacks can vary widely from person to person and even from one episode to another. Typically, anxiety attacks peak within a few minutes and then gradually subside over the next 20 to 30 minutes. However, some anxiety attacks may last longer, especially if the triggers persist or if the individual is unable to implement coping strategies effectively. It's essential to seek support from a healthcare professional to explore coping mechanisms and treatment options if you're experiencing frequent anxiety attacks.

They can vary in length. Have you tried checking your watch at the beginning of an attack and again at the end? L. Eugene Arnold, M.D., M.Ed.

Everyone experiences them differently. I could not put a set quantitative value on it as a universal time for everyone that experiences them.
