i find that panic ?anxiety can be there for hours or even weeks it s the degree that varies .often its just sort of under the surface and is actually a fear off the panic becomung worse ,i think .

Lengths of panic attacks vary from one person to the other. I've had some which lasted 10 minutes right up to one which lasted 5 or 6 hours.

Anxiety varies too.

I wouldnt put a time limit on it. Ive had days where ive felt anxious and they have lasted for a couple of days and ive had panic attacks that after about 20 minutes i thought i was coming out of it for them to start again. I dont think there is a time limit but think you do learn to distinguish between an anxious day and a panic attack, but so many times they have moulded theirselves together and i havent known which is panic or anxiety. In time i did and i totally feel for you as know how horrible it is.
