Hi,

I wonder if you can help me. I have been trying to deal with anxiety and panic for over 6 years now. I now realise that my symptoms are caused by hyperventilating. I try to control my breathing, but find it really hard, especially when I am out of my comfort zone and with people.

Anyway, what I was wondering is what are the long term effects hyperventilating is having on my body, organs etc. I have read that hyperventilating caused lactic acid - what does this do to the body?

Please help.
