Hyperventilation

Uncontrolled, rapid breathing is called hyperventilation and commonly occurs due to anxiety, exertion, or panic. If you struggle with anxiety, Carbon Health can help you treat and cope. If you are hyperventilating with no obvious cause like panic, seek immediate medical care, as this could be a health emergency.
Hyperventilation occurs when you breathe rapidly and excessively, leading to an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. This can result in several physiological changes. When you hyperventilate, you may experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, dizziness, shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in the extremities, chest tightness, and a feeling of suffocation.
