WHAT IS HYPERVENTILATION?

Hyperventilation is an incorrect way of breathing either too rapid or too deep. When you breath too fast or too deep then necessary, your body will inhale too much oxygen and this will cause the carbon dioxide levels in the body to drop. As a response the body will narrow the blood vessels which will create symptoms as followed headache, dizziness, tight feeling and elevated heart rate.

ACUTE AND CHRONIC HYPERVENTILATION

Hyperventilation can happen once, but can be a reoccurring event as well. The first case is called acute hyperventilation, the second chronic hyperventilation. In the case of chronic hyperventilation various subtle complaints can arise without a profound shortness of breath. This is the main reason why it can sometimes take so long before a correct diagnosis is made.

HYPERVENTILATION IS TRIGGERED BY STRESS

A hyperventilation attack is most of the time triggered by a certain emotion like anger, sorrow, fear or tension. Overexertion or even unresolved emotions from the past can be a trigger as well. People are often very afraid of having another attack after they have experienced it for the first time. This fear can in the long run develop into a phobia.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES REDUCE THE TRIGGER FACTORS:

· Tension

Tension and stress are one of the most important factors in triggering hyperventilation. This tension can come from work or from family. Bach Flower Essences help diminish tensions and bring more peace and tranquillity.

· Sorrow

Strong feelings of sorrow can bring on a hyperventilation attack as well. Bach Flower Essences have the ability to soothe the pain and sorrow so it doesn’t bring you out of emotional balance.

· Anger

There is a bigger chance of having a hyperventilation attack when you have been furious at somebody. Bach Flower Essences will bring more balanced spirits so there will be less outbreaks of anger.

· Fear

Fear can be a trigger as well. Because hyperventilation is such a frightening experience, the fear of having another one is very big. Bach Flower Essences help overcome this fear and have confidence that you can deal with the situation. This will make sure that the fear doesn’t result into phobic behaviour.

· Unresolved emotions

Hyperventilation can come up out of the blue as well. Here most of the times the cause can be found in an unresolved trauma. Bach Flower Essences help to resolve traumatic experiences from the past so they no longer effect the ability to function in life.

· Over exhaustion

Certain people have the tendency to take on too many responsibilities and end up over exhausting themselves. This can be the cause of hyperventilation. Flower essences will help you learn to manage your energy and stop when it’s time so the chance of overexertion is reduced.
