Maybe reading this will explain better then I can.....Hyperventilation Syndrome: A Diagnosis Begging for Recognition GREGORY J. MAGARIAN MD; DEBORAH A. MIDDAUGH MD, and DOUGLAS H. LINZ MD, Portland Source: Topics in Primary Care Medicine Since the original descriptions in soldiers, it is now recognized that hyperventilation occurs in many persons under stresses of daily living. It is manifest not only in those overtly stressed, anxious and depressed but also in those who appear outwardly calm as they "bottle up" their feelings, often because of undeveloped or lack of acceptable emotional outlets. Physicians and lay persons alike readily recognize acute hyperventilatory attacks occurring under acute stress. However, chronic or recurrent hyperventilation problems often are unrecognized probably for a variety of reasons, including the frequent lack of obvious overbreathing, a tendency to focus on one or two complaints that alone are not particularly suggestive of hyperventilation, minimal discussion of the topic in medical school and cursory coverage in medical textbooks. Editors Note: Understanding That Once Started Hyperventilation Escalates On Itself. We Are Saying That Once Developed To A Danger To Your Survival It Becomes Asthma As The Body Defends Against The Affects of Long Term Escalating Hyper Ventialtion More of the previous article follows: How does the hyperventilation syndrome develop? Although hyperventilation may have organic or physiologic causes, the syndrome of hyperventilation is usually associated with emotional triggers and thoracic breathing tendency. Indeed, many persons who are anxiety-laden, stressed or depressed have hyperventilatory breathing patterns and complain of their inability to obtain satisfying deep breaths. Anxiety, anger and other emotions produce increases in both rate and depth of respirations probably mediated by a hyperadrenergic state. Once hyperventilation is initiated, persisting stresses of everyday living or the stresses of new bothersome symptoms from hyperventilation create the potential for a self- perpetuating cycle of chronic hyperventilation You may read the article itself in its entirety here: http://members.westnet.com.au/pkolb/magarian.htm Editors note; Hyper Ventilation is little recognized because by the time you get to the medical facility it is not happening. With asthma, in contrast, (further down the line development of hyper ventilation) it is still happening when you arrive at the emergency room. However, current treatment is to force your body to stop restricting hyper ventilation cause and force open air ways because of panic. See our article on the rebreathing into a sack the old standard fix for hyper ventilation.
