Panic & anxiety: Panic attacks are a type of anxiety disorder. Their symptoms usually peak within 10 minutes and dissipate within about 30 minutes. Plain anxiety can be very uncomfortable also, but may persist for many hours and doesn't come in circumscribed "attacks." diagnosis is by description, and ruling out other conditions that may imitate it. Limited symptom panic attacks are possible also.
