Hyperventilation: what to do?

iperventilazione

Hyperventilation is when breathing is faster and deeper than usual as a result of emotional stress or anxiety. Symptoms of hyperventilation include fast and deep breathing, dizziness, chest pain, sweating, and tingling in the hands and around the mouth.

What to do?

  1. It is necessary to have the patient lie down in a quiet place for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Have the patient breathe more slowly and avoid breathing into a paper bag, as serious problems may arise.
  3. Reassure the patient and if he/she faints take appropriate measures.
