Sam breathes in a panic when under stress.
Description
Hyperventilation generally occurs through over excitement or anxiety and is associated with panic attacks. May cause dizziness and difficulty breathing quite alarming.
Panic attacks also cause sweating and palpitations.
Asthma those affected are usually aware of their condition and bring relief inhalers, but panic attacks may occur without notice.
Cause
In hyperventilation, the body has too much oxygen. Shortness of breath, but in reality has too. To use this oxygen the body needs a certain amount of carbon dioxide.
Panic attacks can take place by partnering with the fears of the past. Seeing a dog might remind a child of an earlier attack by a dog and symptoms recur. A variety of phobias can generate attacks panic.
Action
Trying to calm the boy down. Use soft words and tone of voice. Take your child to a quiet place away from the source of anxiety, if known. Use a medical room if you have one.
For hyperventilation do three things to restore balance oxygen consumption:
1. Have the child hold your breath for 10-15 seconds at a time. Repeat a few until the breathing pattern set.
2. Have the child breathes in and out of a paper bag, if available.
3. Tell your child to take a walk step light or running, while breathing through your nose.
Priorities
Stay calm child.
Legalizing breathing.
Alternatives
Taking regular aerobic exercise should alleviate stress and avoid hyperventilation.
Try to determine the source of anguish for what can be avoided or counseling can take place.
Avoid
Treatment of an attack as a crisis. Only you'll increase the tendency to panic.
