Hypernatriemia (excess Na, sodium ions in the blood) is a result of ineffective breathing, depletion of more Na, as the true mechanism for Na-K pump fails
Hypernatremia is especially dangerous for children and the elderly
Severe hypernatremia has a mortality rate of 40-60%
Breathing too fast causes CO2 levels to decrease, and you can faint.
Hypernatremia can cause neurological damage due to shrinkage of brain cells
During hyperventilation, blood pCO2 levels decrease. This causes a shift in the equilibrium of p-cresol sulfate (P-CRES) metabolism towards the production of P-CRES. This leads to higher blood P-CRES levels during hyperventilation.

You have correctly spelled hyperventilation.
No, dyspnea is difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, whereas hyperventilation is rapid and shallow breathing. While they may be related in some situations, they are distinct symptoms with different underlying causes.
