How much time do anxiety physical symptoms last for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self Limiting: That depends. In an acute panic attack the symptoms (including physical such as shortness of breath and increased heart rate) should resolve in around 30 minutes or less. However more chronic stress/anxiety related physical symptoms such as headache, muscle tightness may last indefinitely-until the anxiety itself is treated.
