| | eMedicine - Hyperventilation Syndrome : Article by Edward Newton, MD |
 | | The incidence of HVS is high among patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and the chest pain associated with MVP may be due to hyperventilation. | | | The patient should be instructed in the technique of diaphragmatic breathing and referred to a specialist (ie, physiotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, family physician, internist, or respiratory therapist) who can reinforce this approach. | | | Current thinking suggests that the syndrome might better be termed behavioral breathlessness or psychogenic dyspnea with hyperventilation as a consequence rather than as a cause of the condition. |

| | The chest pain of hyperventilation is variably described. | | | Occasionally, "pseudoischemic" electrocardiographic patterns may be seen in patients with chest pain from hyperventilation. | | | It currently remains uncertain whether hyperventilation- induced coronary vasospasm and myocardial ischemia contribute to the chest pain associated with the hyperventilation syndrome. |

| | Hyperventilation (overbreathing) panic attack symptoms / causes - course part 4 |
| | About 60% of attacks are accompanied by hyperventilation and many panickers overbreathe even whilst relaxed. | | | The most important thing to understand about hyperventilation is that although it can feel as if you don't have enough oxygen, the opposite is true. | | | As you become more generally relaxed the 'baseline' of arousal from which you are starting lowers. |

| | Hyperventilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hyperventilation also occurs as a consequence of various lung diseases, head injury or stroke (central neurogenic hyperventilation, apneustic respirations, ataxic respiration, Cheyne-Stokes respirations or Biot's respiration), or when the body lacks oxygen (hypoxia), for instance in high altitude or as a result of anaemia. | | | If carbon dioxide levels are high, the body assumes that oxygen levels are low, and accordingly the brain's blood vessels dilate, to assure sufficient blood flow and supply of oxygen. | | | This causes various symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the hands, feet and lips, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, chest pain, slurred speech and sometimes fainting. |
