How long do panic attacks last for?

[Dan Wales]

I have been panicking for most of the day. How long does a panic attack normally last for?

It takes about 5mins or so for the adrenaline to leave your body.
After that it should pass.
That's just a rough estimate, although it can seem longer.
Feeling anxious constantly sounds more like GAD.
Have you tried doing any excersise? That can really help,even though you mightn't feel like it,its worth the effort.

I feel anxious most of the day. I haven't tried exercise but I am willing to give it ago.

I find it helps me a lot,even though on days like today when you're getting blown over,it seems an effort.
Just walking a few blocks for half an hour or so can make a difference.:)

Mine vary, but my last one was about 5 minutes, but at the time it seemed to be an eternity.
