panic attack is a sudden, relatively short (usually less than 30 minutes), intense period of extreme fear that happens when there’s no real danger. an anxiety attack is more generally just a period of elevated anxiety that might build up gradually and last for a while (and that usually has some sort of apparent cause like stress)
