What is hyperventilate?

1.excessively rapid and deep breathing.2.a condition characterized by abnormally prolonged and rapid breathing, resulting in decreased carbon dioxide levels and increased oxygen levels that produce faintness, tingling of the fingers and toes, and, if continued, alkalosis and loss of consciousness. yeah, your hands and arms will get numb, you'll feel really dizzy and have a hard time breathing properly. you will probably be panicking about the dizziness and breathing problems which could lead to breathing even more abnormally. the key is to take slow inhales and exhales (almost like in yoga) no matter how hard it may be. if that doesn't work, breathe into a paper bag until your breathing slows to normal again...
