A state of
sheer terror for any
asthmatic.
Basically when you inhale and exhale much faster then any normal human should, normally so fast your body can barely get any
oxygen out of the air. Tends to be uncontrollable, in the sense that it is
involuntary once it gets going. Hyperventilating leads to
light headedness, and
asthma attacks. This can be brought about by anything from
getting the wind knocked out of you,
crying, and generally anything that can make you breathe hard, and uncontrolled, or
gasp for air.
Nothing,
nothing, evokes more fear then not being able to breathe because of something uncontrollable or involuntary. A simple attack, or just running outta breath, isnt half bad. That is easily controlled. Not being able to think straight
scares the hell outta me when i'm having an attack.
How to stop it?
Don't touch me.
Deep breathing helps, if you can get the person to concentrate.
sit down, make sure the person isnt going to ram into a wall.
padded rooms help. Do what ever you need to to
calm the person down
