Hyperventilation syndrome

...Shortness of breath can also occur when there are no abnormalities in the respiratory and circulatory systems or blood, but when the excitability of the respiratory center is abnormally increased due to a lesion in the central nervous system. Psychosomatic shortness of breath occurs when the depth and rate of breathing suddenly increases, carbon dioxide is washed out of the body, the blood becomes alkaline, and numbness in the hands and feet, convulsions, and even fainting attacks occur, which is called hyperventilation syndrome.
[Treatment]
If the cause is pulmonary dysfunction or acid-base disorder, efforts should be made to correct the disorder.
