Hyperventilation is a condition in which a person breathes too quickly or deeply, leading to a decrease in the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. It can cause symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. It usually develops when a person is under stress or anxious, but it can also be caused by physical exertion or certain medical conditions. The most common type of hyperventilation is characterized by rapid, shallow breaths, but it can also manifest as deep, labored breaths.
