Signs of over-ventilation

The manifestations of hyperventilation are usually characterized by deeper and faster breathing, which may also lead to intense respiration, easily causing chest tightness, pressure, or suffocation. However, some individuals may experience palpitations and tachycardia after hyperventilation, and may even develop hand and foot spasms. Diagnosis is generally made at a hospital based on clinical presentation and laboratory tests. In diagnosing hyperventilation, it is necessary to differentiate it from epilepsy and hypothyroidism. Once diagnosed, factors such as mental stress should be avoided as much as possible.
