Hyperventilation causes carbon dioxide (CO2) blood levels to drop significantly due to excessive breathing, which expels CO2 from the lungs faster than the body can produce it. This rapid decrease in CO2 levels leads to respiratory alkalosis, a condition where the blood becomes more alkaline. The body reacts by constricting blood vessels to the brain and other areas, which can result in symptoms like dizziness or tingling. Ultimately, hyperventilation disrupts the normal balance of oxygen and CO2 in the bloodstream.

How does hyperventilating in a paper bag affect carbon doxide content of blood?

It causes the amount of carbon dioxide to increase in your blood since you are less able to remove it from your lungs. The amount will be higher that outside the bag and you will be rebreathing what you need to remove from your body.

Why do people breathe in carbon dioxide when they are hyperventilating?

Actually, when people hyperventilate, they loose carbon dioxide. The old way of treating a person who is hyperventilating is to breathe into a paper bag. This is no longer recommended, unless your doctor tells you to do so. Hyperventilation causes your body to expel too much carbon dioxide and that can change the pH level in the blood and cause metabolic problems. Since hyperventilation is mostly a psychological problem than a physiological problem, the best treatment is to is to stay calm and practice breathing slowly and not too deeply.
