Hyperventilation - what does this mean

Hyperventilation is a condition in which an individual breathes more quickly and deeply than normal, resulting in a lower than normal level of carbon dioxide in the blood. this can lead to symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. it is often triggered by anxiety, panic, or stress, but can also be caused by certain medical conditions.

What happens during the disease - hyperventilation

Hyperventilation is a condition in which an individual breathes more deeply and rapidly than normal, leading to a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. this decrease in carbon dioxide causes a decrease in the blood's ph level, making it more alkaline, which in turn causes vasoconstriction of the blood vessels and decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues. this results in symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, tingling in the extremities, and difficulty breathing.
