OBJECTIVES

how to treat HYPERVENTILATION at home, work, or at any place in any


event when a person have a HYPERVENTILATION right on the spot and
on how to prevent Hyperventilation.
INTRODCTION:

HYPERVENTILATION happens when a person breathes very fast that it


looks like they are very tired or something that shocked them. We normally
breathe by breathing in oxygen and we exhales carbon dioxide. Low carbon
dioxide levels lead to narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to
the brain.
HYPERVENTILATION SYMPTOMS:

Rapid, deep breathing for the first time


Hyperventilation that gets worse, even after trying home care options
Pain
Fever
Bleeding
Feeling anxious, nervous, or tense
Frequent sighing or yawning
A pounding and racing heartbeat
Problems with balance, lightheadedness, or vertigo
Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or around the mouth
Chest tightness, fullness, pressure, tenderness, or pain
TREATING HYPERVENTILATION

It may be helpful to have someone with you to coach you through the
episode. The goal of treatment during an episode is to increase carbon
dioxide levels in your body and work to slow your breathing rate.
We can try some immediate techniques to help treat
HYPERVENTILATION:
Breathe through pursed lips.
Breathe slowly into a paper bag or cupped hands.
Attempt to breathe into your belly (diaphragm) rather than your chest.
Hold your breath for 10 to 15 seconds at a time.
Preventing HYPERVENTILATION to happen is by learning on how to
relax and calm ourselves, by reducing our stress, having a proper
medication, meditation, alternate nostril breathing, deep belly breathing,
and full body breathing, mind and body exercise is also helpful to us to
have a proper breathing and having a healthy mind and lifestyle.
