Describe what happens during hyperventilation

Breathing rate increases and is faster than is needed for proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. This decreases the level of carbon dioxide in the blood and can cause chest pain, dizziness, and tingling sensations in the lips, fingers, and toes. If hyperventilation continues, the person may lose consciousness.
