Effects of Hyperventilation, Symptoms of Hyperventilation Syndrome, Which Circumstances Create Hyperventilation Syndrome, Diagnosis of Hyperventilation Syndrome, Effect of Hyperventilayion on Intra Cranial Pressure (ICP) And Treatment of Hyperventilation
Abstract
Hyperventilation is linked to an enhanced pulmonary ventilation via forced breathing. Both the rate and force of breathing are exaggerated in hyperventilation. Very often, hyperventilation leads to the occurrence of chest pain, discomfort and dizziness. Excess of CO2 results in activation of respiratory centers. Especially during hyperventilation, CO2 is washed out in an extensive manner. In blood, partial pressure of CO2 is reduced and results in the depression of respiratory centers and results in apnea. Symptoms of hyperventilation syndrome are burping or bloated stomach and dry mouth. Diagnosis of hyperventilation syndrome is based on chest X ray, ECG and pulse oximetry. Hyperventilation lowers ICP in a quick manner. Cerebral blood flow is dependent on partial pressure of CO2. Treatment is linked to the diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing. Breathing exercise, meditation, practicing mindfulness and regular exercise are related to the prevention of hyperventilation syndrome.
