I'm doing some assuming here. I think the question is what happens to the pH of the blood when hyperventilating.
Hyperventilating causes the CO2 levels in the blood to go down, raising the pH. The acid-base balance of the blood needs to stay in a very narrow margin and is carefully buffered accordingly. Depleting the CO2 levels and upsetting that balance causes many of the metabolic processes in the body to malfunction, misfire, or stop altogether, especially the basic energy producing/transporting ones. Also, the acidity levels in the blood change the permeability of the cell membranes and the transport of nutrients into and waste products out of the cell. The resulting metabolic storm is serious and can be life threatening in some individuals
