How long do the effects of nerves last?

The effects of nerves, such as anxiety or stress responses, can vary significantly from person to person and depend on the situation. Typically, the heightened feelings of nervousness may last from a few minutes to several hours, particularly if triggered by a specific event. In some cases, especially with chronic anxiety, the effects can linger longer and become part of ongoing emotional or psychological issues. Techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness can help mitigate these effects more quickly.
