Hyperventilation, also known as over-breathing, is caused when panic attack sufferers breathe faster than required. This will result in the disturbance of the balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Without enough carbon dioxide in the body, the blood becomes too alkaline and this will result in the shrinking of arteries. Ultimately, this will restrict blood flow to essential organs such as the brain and you will begin to experience side-effects such as dizziness, blurring vision, etc.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of blood and the oxygen that comes with it, you brain will instinctively make you breathe even faster – worsening the problem.
It is essential you understand what is happening. Frightening these symptoms maybe, you will never die or suffocate. Thus, you have to regain control of your breathing and bring it back to normal. A simple technique is to breathe in deeply and exhale as slow as you can, repeat until you resume normal breathing.
A foolproof method would be to place a paper bag over your head and breathe through them. Alternatively, you could also cup your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe. The idea here is to inhale back the carbon dioxide so that the oxygen/carbon dioxide balance is maintained.
