Hyperventilation Syndromes Diagnosis and Treatment and Related
Diseases“Hyperventilation occurs more in women because they will keep breathing again
again and again!”“Breathing into a paper bag is no longer advised.”Hyperventilation
syndrome (HVS) indicates a relatively frequent emergency department disorder that can
happen with anxiety or panic.A breathing rate that exceeds 16 breaths per minute is
typical of either hyperventilation or tachypnea (rapid shallow breathing). While tachypnea
and hyperventilation are occasionally considered to be the same hyperventilation is
normally related to anxiety stress or panic.Over breathing is another name for
hyperventilation and it may leave the patient feeling breathless.The patient may
hyperventilate from an emotional cause such as during a panic attack. Rapid breathing
may be a medical emergency and the patient need to get treated unless the patient have
had this before and the doctor has told the patient that the patient can treat it on the
own.Excessive breathing produces low levels of carbon dioxide (hypocapnia) in the
blood.CausesThe cause for HVS is not known but some persons who are affected seem to
have an abnormal respiratory response to stress sodium lactate and other chemical and
emotional triggers which can cause excess minute ventilation and hypocarbia.This creates
many of the symptoms of hyperventilation.Emotional causes are1. Anxiety and
nervousness2. Panic attack3. Stress4. Circumstances where there is a psychological
benefit in having a sudden dramatic illness (e.g. somatization disorder)Medical causes
are1. Bleeding2. Cardiac disease such as congestive heart failure or heart attack3. Drugs
(such as an aspirin overdose)4. Infection such as pneumonia or sepsis5. Ketoacidosis and
similar medical conditions6. Lung disease such as asthma COPD or pulmonary
embolism7. Pregnancy8. Severe pain9. Stimulant medicines usageSymptomsFast
breathing can be a medical emergency that needs to get treated unless the patient has had
this before and the doctor has told the patient that the patient can treat it himself.Often
panic and hyperventilation become linked to a vicious cycle.Panic attack results in rapid
breathing and breathing quickly can make the patient feel panicked.There are many of the
other symptoms1. Belching2. Bloating3. Chest pain4. Confusion5. Dizziness6. Dry
mouth7. Lightheadedness8. Muscle spasms in the hands and feet9. Numbness and tingling
in the arms or around the mouth10. Palpitations11. Shortness of breath12. Sleep
disturbances13. WeaknessWhen the patient is overbreathing the patient might not be
aware the patient is breathing fast and deep. But the patient will likely be aware of the
other symptoms such as1. Feeling lightheaded dizzy weak or not able to think straight2.
Feeling as if the patient can't catch the breath3. Chest pain or fast and pounding
heartbeat4. Belching or bloating5. Dry mouth6. Muscle spasms in the hands and feet7.
Numbness and tingling in the arms or around the mouth8. Problems
sleepingDiagnosisBlood tests for the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the bloodChest
CT scan is normalECG is performed to detect cardiac ischemiaTreatmentThe patient
should learn deep breathing and relaxation techniques to help cope with an anxiety or
panic attack.Regular exercise daily will helpTreatment for anxiety such as
cognitivebehavioral therapy and medicine by a doctor can help the patient cope with
anxietyMedical treatment includes benzodiazepines or selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors or a betablocker.TABLE OF CONTENTIntroductionChapter 1 Hyperventilation
