    Hyperventilation occurs when breathing eliminates too much carbon dioxide from the blood, leading to low carbon dioxide levels and high blood pH (respiratory alkalosis). Symptoms include dizziness, tingling, headache, weakness and seizures in extreme cases. Hyperventilation can be caused by stress, anxiety, medical conditions or drugs and can sometimes be intentionally induced.

    Hyperventilation

    Hyperventilation occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates


    more carbon dioxide than the body can produce.[2][3][4] This leads to hypocapnia, a
    reduced concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood. The body normally
    attempts to compensate for this homeostatically, but if this fails or is overridden,
    the blood pH will rise, leading to respiratory alkalosis. The symptoms of respiratory
    alkalosis include: dizziness, tingling in the lips, hands or feet, headache, weakness,
    fainting, and seizures. In extreme cases it may cause carpopedal spasms, a flapping
    and contraction of the hands and feet.[4][5]
    Factors that may induce or sustain[3] hyperventilation include: physiological
    stress, anxiety or panic disorder, high altitude, head injury, stroke, respiratory
    disorders such as asthma, pneumonia, or hyperventilation syndrome,[6] cardiovascular
    problems such as pulmonary embolisms, anemia, an incorrectly calibrated medical
    respirator,[2][4] and adverse reactions to certain drugs. Hyperventilation can also be
    induced intentionally to achieve an altered state of consciousness such as in
    the choking game, during breathwork, or in an attempt to extend a breath-hold dive.
