	Neurology - Hyperventilation Syndrome \| Brad McKechnie, DC, DACAN
		Hyperventilation syndrome is one of the most common causes of dizziness in the general population, accounting for up to 25 percent of dizziness complaints.
		Hyperventilation syndrome may present a diagnostic challenge to the chiropractic physician because of the diverse symptomatology associated with this disorder.
		Hyperventilation syndrome may be due to hypocapnia, alkalosis, increased cerebral vasoconstiction, decreased cerebral blood flow, and increased nerve sensitivity.

	Rapid Deep Breathing (Hyperventilation) - Health Centers
		Hyperventilation is rapid or deep breathing, usually caused by anxiety or panic.
		If you frequently overbreathe (sometimes referred to as hyperventilation syndrome), this may be triggered by ongoing emotions of stress, anxiety, depression, or anger.
		However, hyperventilation from panic is generally related to a specific fear or phobia, such as a fear of heights, dying, or closed-in spaces (claustrophobia).

	Asthma Care Ireland- Featured on RTE and TV3, Buteyko Clinics and books
		However, chronic or recurrent hyperventilation problems often are unrecognized probably for a variety of reasons, including the frequent lack of obvious overbreathing, a tendency to focus on one or two complaints that alone are not particularly suggestive of hyperventilation, minimal discussion of the topic in medical school and cursory coverage in medical textbooks.
		Although hyperventilation may have organic or physiologic causes, the syndrome of hyperventilation is usually associated with emotional triggers and thoracic breathing tendency.
		Management of Hyperventilation Syndrome As many patients with the syndrome have had symptoms for months or years and have seen other physicians without appreciating the cause of their symptoms, it is important that the patient be confronted with the cause-and-effect relationship between hyperventilation and their symptoms.

	Anxiety Zone - Hyperventilation, shortness of breath, choking sensation, smothering feeling, tachypnea, hyperpnea
		In medicine, hyperventilation, also known as tachypnea or hyperpnea, is the state of breathing faster or deeper than necessary, and thereby reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood below normal.
		Stress or anxiety commonly cause hyperventilation; this is known as hyperventilation syndrome.
		Hyperventilation also occurs as a consequence of various lung diseases, head injury or stroke, or when the body lacks oxygen (hypoxia), for instance in high altitude or as a result of anaemia.

	ASMANET : Edito Février 1997 Pr André Cartier Université de Montréal
		Chronic hyperventilation syndrome is characterized by a large variety of somatic symptoms induced by physiologically inappropriate hyperventilation and usually reproduced in whole or in part by voluntary hyperventilation.
		Hyperventilation is a normal response to stress and to such condition as pain, metabolic acidosis, acetylsalicylic acid poisoning, pulmonary embolism and some pathologies of the central nervous system, etc.
		The subjects with hyperventilation syndrome are too often neglected by their physician or are given anxiolytic treatment on the basis that their problem is imaginary or psychological.

	Hyperventilation -- Topic Overview
		Hyperventilation occurs most often in people who are nervous or tense, breathe shallowly, and have other medical conditions, such as lung diseases or panic disorder.
		Hyperventilation is not a disease, but evaluation by your health professional may be needed if you have repeated episodes of hyperventilation symptoms.
		Medical treatment may be needed for hyperventilation symptoms that are moderate to severe, last for long periods of time, recur, or interfere with your daily activities.

	Hyperventilation Syndrome: A Diagnosis Begging for Recognition GREGORY J. MAGARIAN, MD;
		Once hyperventilation is initiated, persisting stresses of everyday living or the stresses of new bothersome symptoms from hyperventilation create the potential for a self- perpetuating cycle of chronic hyperventilation (Figure 1).
		As many patients with the syndrome have had symptoms for months or years and have seen other physicians without appreciating the cause of their symptoms, it is important that the patient be confronted with the cause-and-effect relationship between hyperventilation and their symptoms.

	Hyperventilation / Panic Attack home
		Hyperventilation is simply overbreathing, and the constellation of symptoms this may produce is called the Hyperventilation Syndrome.
		Hyperventilation Syndrome occurs when breathing is over-active, and this overbreathing eliminates too much CO2, thus causing the CO2 level in the body to fall lower than it should.
		Typical hyperventilation complaints are those of being light-headed, or feeling somewhat disoriented, or dizzy or feeling faint, and occasionally actual fainting may occur.

	VERTIGO AND PSYCHOLOGY
		Hyperventilation syndrome requires more discussion and can be divided into three categories: 1) Persons with "normal" lightheadedness from hyperventilation, 2) Persons with structural ear or CNS disorders that are reactive to hyperventilation such as MS, and vestibular nerve injuries 3) Persons with panic/anxiety states who may hyperventilate inappropriately and are abnormally reactive to hyperventilation.
		Hyperventilation sensitivity is nonspecific and a positive hyperventilation test does not exclude the presence of a vestibular or CNS lesions.
		The diagnostic criteria for panic unfortunately define a syndrome that may be impossible to separate from episodic vertigo, accompanied by a reactive anxiety.

	Hyperventilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, hyperventilation (or hyperpnea) is the state of breathing faster or deeper (hyper) than necessary, and thereby reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood below normal.
		Hyperventilation can also occur 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.
		Lastly, in the case of metabolic acidosis, the body uses hyperventilation to counter the increased acidity of the blood; this is known as Kussmaul breathing.

		Because of the subtlety of the hyperventilation, many patients with chronic HVS are admitted and undergo extensive and expensive testing in an attempt to discover organic causes of their complaints.
		Provoking the symptoms by having the patient voluntarily hyperventilate for 3-4 minutes often convinces the patient of the diagnosis but is time-consuming and may be ineffective.
		Complications are related mainly to invasive procedures and investigations (eg, angiography) or to symptoms produced indirectly by hyperventilation (eg, injuries sustained in a fall during a syncopal episode due to hyperventilation).

		In psychiatry, hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) is an episodic disorder that often presents with chest pain and a tingling sensation of the fingertips (paresthesia) and around the mouth, as well as deep and labored breathing (causing hyperventilation), although chronic but subtle hyperventilation can cause these symptoms too.
