Question by : How long does it take for your body to stop having symptoms after panic attack?
I have been having daily panic attacks that are all day for about 2 weeks, My symptoms are usually throughout the day but not always at the same time, for ex: I might have heart palpations for a few minutes and an hour later cant breathe and dizzy, lightheaded for hours. I have learned to cope and calm myself and days later I am still having weakness numbness in arms and hands and lightheaded. How long does it usually take for your body to full recover?

One problem with panic attacks is they can become addictive. The reason for this is that large doses of adrenalin flood your body with a rush which may not feel pleasant but gives you a very powerful sensation. If you have regular attacks that last for hours you may never be out of panic mode hormonally speaking and this can cause serious physical and psychological harm. One major hormone released on cortisol, which causes arteries to stiffen and thicken thus weakening and increasing risk of stroke and heart attack.
Learn to turn down the volume on your panic through exercise and meditation. Search for the reason for the panic and confront it. Do away with the horrible pain and suffering of these panics.
Try massage therapy and read Dr Herbert Benson’s books on stress management.
