can panic attacks last all day?
can panic attacks last all day or do they just last for a couple of hours?
-
The actual, full, attacks themselves don't last that long. But you can have elevated levels of anxiety all day, and have several attacks throughout the course of a day...which kinda makes it feel like you're having an attack all day.

I can't imagine having one last all day. I think it would knock me out if it lasted more than few hours. Mine usually last anywhere from a few minutes to a couple hours.
-
well for me they usually come in waves...and i've had days where little triggers will set these waves off throughout the day....never had one panic attack go all day I think that would drive me crazy D:
-
Today I had an attack start at 3:30 and it hit hard about 4 then it regressed but will peak every few hours. It feels like a full day.
-
I had very strong anxieties that last almost two weeks. It stops after those two weeks because I got tranquilizer (Clonex). I don't know if it was one anxiety that last that long or a lot of anxieties so it looked to me like it's one. I don't think it really matters if it's one or not but it is totally possible to have anxiety all the time!
-
I had a two-day panic attack once.. (or so it felt like!) I would take ativan, it would eventually knock me out, but I would wake up later on in a panic again. This lasted for about 48 hours (give or take) for me - I even went to the hospital.
