breathing in paper bag would help on hyperventilating person?
551287
Hyperventilating happens when a person is breathing too fast and too shallow.  Breathing into a paper bag, they are forced to slow down their breathing and take deeper breaths, thereby stopping the hyperventilating episode.

defenatly take someone with you.  i've told this to someone else in another question, but i stand by it, chew gum.  it sounds weird but doing something with your mouth is calming.  don't look at the needle whatever you do.  focus on something on the wall.  theres usually a poster in the room.  read that.  i really hope everything goes well and don't forget to breath.

The mechanism that drives a human to breath is dependent upon CO2 receptors in the body--both peripheral chemo receptors and central chemo receptors. As with all receptors in the body (excluding pain receptors) they will adapt when exposed to a stimulus over a long period of time. A person known to retain CO2 has long since been exposed to elvated CO2 levels and the CO2 receptors have adapted.  For this type of patient--their drive to breathe is no longer driven by elevated CO2 levels. They rely primarily on oxygen sensitive chemo receptors. (When the oxygen level in the arterial blood--PAO2 falls below 60mmhg-it will tell the respiratory control centers in the brain to initiate respiration.) Administering high levels of oxygen to an individual such as this can be harmful and dangerous. High levels of supplemental oxygen raise the PAO2 levels--therefore the oxygen chemo recptor never sends the signal to the respiratory center to breathe. This will knock out the patients only remaining chemical signal to initiate respirations. \nIf your goal is administer a medication via a nebulizer (ie the standard one on the market) the use of moderate flow (5 LPM) of oxygen should not significantly elevate the PAO2 levels. The nebulizer is not a closed system and therefore is mixed with room air the only has an oxygen concentration of 21%. Ideally, the use of compressed air is utilized for such treatments.

Of course!\n\nA. Hold your breath, then drink a lot of water.\nB. Let someone scare you...scary, lol\nC. Go upside down and hold your breath\nD. Go upside down, drink water...WARNING, this can be dangerous.

First off, I know exactly what you mean!  This happens to me as well.  I actually, take a tranq to reduce the anxious feelings.  For you and these will sound goofy.  After smoking and u feel those feelings, go sit on the toilet to attempt taking a crap.  The muscles used help relax you.  A doctor recommended this, not something I made up for laughs.  Also, breathing in deeply through the nose like ur smelling a rose and out through your mouth will help.  Do it until you stop your heart from racing...which it is not.  You are just hyperventilating.  Try taking the weed a diferent way besides smoking it ciggy style...sometimes if they are rolled too tight it foces you to take in a deeper breath and works towards hyperventilating.  Try a bong or brownies.

Hypervenilating removes extra carbon dioxide from the blood.  Our urge to breathe is not driven by lack of oxygen, but by extra CO2 building up; this also affects blood pH, as it forms carbonic acid, so low pH stimulates breathing, too.\n\nThus, the person can hold their breath longer, after hyperventilating.  he / she will not be forced to surface to breathe, to relieve the urge to remove more CO2.\n\nHowever, they will have disturbed their blood pH, which can cause the brain to malfunction, leading to loss of muscular control, and to drowning.\n\nThey might get low on oxygen, too.  Normally, we carry plenty of oxygen in our bodies; even the air we breathe out has plenty of oxygen in it, and can be forced into the lungs of an unconscious person, in "mouth to mouth resuscitation".  IRC the proper name for this is "expired air resuscitation" but I am not sure.

A sudden intake of air in the lungs will cause them. You can hold your breath and count from 1 to 10 and that may stop them or breath in a paper bag.

The medical term for the condition caused by hyperventilation is RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS. This is caused by the exhalation of excess CO2 due to rapid breathing. \n\nAs you breath deeper and quicker your pCO2 drops substantially and CO2 is released from carbonic acid in the blood. This results is an increase in blood pH. Breathing into a bag ensures that you inhale a greater percentage of CO2 and thus balance your blood pH. \n\nRespiratory alkalosis can result in loss of consciousness and coma in worst-case scenarios.\n\nThere are two observations based on this that anyone can try for themselves. First, try and hold your breath after a big breath in. Time it. Now, inhale and exhale as deep as you can as rapidly as you can for about 20-30 seconds. Now exhale strongly and hold your breath with empty lungs. You'll almost cetainly be able to beat the other time.\n\nHOWEVER, you must stop immediately after. The reason you have less of a reflex to inhale is because you have lowered your pCO2 which is the measurement the body uses to detect possible lack of oxygen. Your body does not measure oxygen levels only CO2.\n\nIt is actually possible to put yourself into a coma this way unless you make yourself inhale. This is why rebreather that filter out CO2 can be deadly if they malfunction. If you run out of oxygen but there is not build up of CO2 you will simply slip into a coma unaware.\n\nThe other phenomenon occurs when you vomit. The massive loss of acid from your stomach causes the body to go into METABOLIC ALKALOSIS. The automatic response of the body is to lower you breathing rate so that you accumulate CO2 in the blood and thus counter the alkalosis.\n\nNot that you'll be thinking, wow I'm breathing really slow now, next time you puke. But it's true.

breathe through your nose. don't open too wide

air is moved into the lungs

Drink plenty of water and don't smoke cigarettes (the worst for blood flow)or drink alcohol. Also Aerobic exercise will make your lungs better able to get oxygen into the bloodstream.

I had anxiety problems once in awhile and I just told a doctor. He gave me medication for any time the feeling accured. I also learned that when I had anxiety attacks, which wasnt often, to breathe in a paper bag for awhile. The carbon dioxide you breathe in, with less oxyagen in you system calms you down. Hope I helped you out. advise, see a doctor for sure.

Yes you still have to breathe for them.  \nCPR is like artificial heartbeat and breathing.  \nIf you are interested, maybe you should take the certification class.

Hand out plastic bags and demonstrate the technique of suffocation or perhaps you could demonstrate a hanging?

You cant suffocate yourself by holding your breath or putting you hand over your mouth/nose. Your body has a built in survival instinct. However , if you use something over your head you just might suffocate. That is why they put warnings on things such as plastic bags that say they are not a toy.\n\nMessing with breathing is dangerous. At the least if you have no oxygen for several minutes you will suffer brain damage.
