hi all
i just wanted to tell my story as i have discovered that a lot of my problems are from hyperventilating.
basically...
HA since last Aug,
all physical symptoms have been here at some point, headaches,tingling, spasms, dizziness, aches, pains, ibs.
tests done, chest xray, numerous blood tests, brain scan, hearing/balance,
having cbt,
BUT...most doctors i have seen have said i breathe too fast. (hyperventilation) but it looks like i dont just do it when im panicking, im doing it habitually.
this brings on a change in the alkaline levels in your blood which results in all those symptoms above.
i now have to work on my breathing and relaxation methods (which are easier said than done!)
I just wanted to let u all know as it may be something that is affecting u too.
