HELLO,
ANXIETY , EMOTIONAL STRESS CAN LEAD TO HYPER VENTILATION N RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS LEADING TO EVEN HYPOCALCEMIC TETANY.IF U HAVE INCREASED RATE OF BREATHING (LOWERS PaCO2) , BREATHING GETS SHALLOWER, SO U NEED TO BREATHE IN A CLOSED BAG TO AVOID RESP ALKALOSIS.
LET ME KNOW IF U HAVE ANY PRE EXISTING CONDITION OR ILLNESS AND WHAT MEDICATIONS ARE U CURRENTLY USING.
PLZ GET YOUR PFTS DONE VIA A PULMONOLOGISTS OPINION TO RULE OT ANY OBSTRUCTIVE OR RESTRICTIVE DISEASE OF LUNGS.
THANX, HV A NICE DAY
