What are the treatments for hyperventilation syndrome

Hyperventilation syndrome is a disease that is generally more likely to occur in younger women. It is mainly caused by the combination of emotional instability in the patient's body and mind. Most of the time, patients with this disease are mentally stressed, overworked, or have received certain stimulation, which leads to an increase in exhaled carbon dioxide, but the inhaled oxygen is not as much as the exhaled carbon dioxide, resulting in a disease. Under normal circumstances, patients will show symptoms such as hand tremors, dizziness, etc. Now let’s talk about the treatments for hyperventilation syndrome.

Treatment of hyperventilation syndrome

Patients should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and vent negative emotions in time. Eating bananas can relieve them. Due to the patient's rapid breathing, a large amount of CO2 is exhaled out of the body, causing respiratory alkali poisoning, and a series of clinical symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, palpitations, sweating, pale complexion, numbness of the face and lips, and convulsions of the hands, feet, and whole body appear.

Therefore, the following two points should be noted in the care of such patients:

1. Psychological counseling: This type of patients often have triggering factors such as mental stimulation, or the disease may be caused by reasons such as broken love, family discord, and quarrels between husband and wife. Nurses should sympathize with and care about patients, have heart-to-heart talks with them, actively communicate with them, try to find the causes of their illness, and patiently provide psychological counseling and consolation.

Suggestive therapy:

1. First of all, the family, friends or colleagues who send the patient to the hospital should not panic, and should not talk about how serious the disease is in front of the patient, and should not show tension or anxiety, because adverse stimulation will aggravate the attack.

2. Ask the patient to relax his whole body, breathe evenly, consciously slow down the breathing rate or hold his breath to reduce the exhalation of CO2, improve alkali poisoning, and relieve symptoms.

3. For patients with severe symptoms, you can use cardboard to make a trumpet shape and cover the patient's mouth and nose to increase the dead space for breathing, allowing the exhaled CO2 to be re-inhaled into the body to improve the symptoms of alkali poisoning.

4. Stabilize the patient's mood and give sedatives orally or intramuscularly if necessary. 5. Inject vitamin B drugs intramuscularly and tell the patient that this is a specific medicine for treating the disease and it is very effective. Many patients can terminate the attack after being suggested.

Symptoms of Hyperventilation Syndrome

(1) Paroxysmal shortness of breath: chest tightness or tightness, chest pain, and a sense of impending death. Fear causes people to breathe harder, creating a vicious cycle.

(2) Headache, dizziness, impaired consciousness, fainting, light-headedness, fear and anxiety in a few patients.

(3) Tension convulsions of hands and feet: manifested as tremors, shaking, local muscle spasms, limb rigidity, weakness, etc.

(4) Abnormal numbness of the whole body or limbs, face, hands, feet, and lips.

The clinical manifestations of this syndrome are quite serious when it occurs, which not only causes fear in patients, but also makes their families very nervous. If clinical physicians are not familiar with this syndrome, they often misdiagnose it as heart disease, lung disease, hypoglycemia, tetany, etc. On the other hand, since this syndrome often occurs on the basis of organic lesions, attention should be paid to the examination and diagnosis of the primary disease to avoid delaying the treatment of the primary disease.
