  2. Hyperventilation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilation_syndrome

    Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS), also known as chronic hyperventilation syndrome (CHVS), dysfunctional breathing hyperventilation syndrome, cryptotetany, [1] [2] spasmophilia, [3] [4] [5] latent tetany, [4] [5] and central neuronal hyper excitability syndrome (NHS), [3] is a respiratory disorder, psychologically or physiologically based, involving breathing too deeply or too rapidly ...

  3. Hyperventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilation

    Hyperventilation is irregular breathing that occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates more carbon dioxide than the body can produce. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This leads to hypocapnia , a reduced concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood.

  4. Central neurogenic hyperventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_neurogenic...

    Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH) is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by deep and rapid breaths at a rate of at least 25 breaths per minute. Increasing irregularity of this respiratory rate generally is a sign that the patient will enter into coma. CNH is unrelated to other forms of hyperventilation, like Kussmaul's ...

  5. Cheyne–Stokes respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyne–Stokes_respiration

    Causes may include heart failure, kidney failure, narcotic poisoning, intracranial pressure, and hypoperfusion of the brain (particularly of the respiratory center). The pathophysiology of Cheyne–Stokes breathing can be summarized as apnea leading to increased CO 2 which causes excessive compensatory hyperventilation, in turn causing decreased CO 2 which causes apnea, restarting the cycle.

  6. Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_sympathetic...

    Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a syndrome that causes episodes of increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system.Hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system can manifest as increased heart rate, increased respiration, increased blood pressure, diaphoresis, and hyperthermia. [1]

  7. Panic attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_attack

    [50] [21] The focus on management of panic disorder involves reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks, reducing anticipatory anxiety and agoraphobia, and achieving full remission. [ 51 ] If a patient is experiencing a panic attack, most will resolve spontaneously within a course of 20 to 30 minutes without interference.

  8. Hyperventilating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilating

    Hyperventilation syndrome, a medical condition involving hyperventilating Cheyne–Stokes respiration , the breathing disorder Hypocapnia , a physiological result of hyperventilating

  9. Hyperpnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpnea

    Hyperpnea is also distinguished from hyperventilation, which is over-ventilation (an increase in minute ventilation), which involves an increase in volume and respiration rate, resulting in rapid and deep breaths. The exact mechanisms behind exercise hyperpnea are not well understood, and some hypotheses are somewhat controversial.
