The doctor explained that when people are emotionally excited, it will cause the respiratory rate to become faster and faster, and if this respiratory rate is too fast, the body will excrete too much carbon dioxide, which will lead to an acid-base imbalance in the body, and the pH value in the blood will rise, causing respiratory alkalosis.
It is a state of emotional stress that tends to occur during strenuous exercise or emotional agitation. Mild symptoms include perioral numbness, fingertip numbness, dizziness, chest tightness, etc.; In severe cases, convulsions and confusion may occur, which can lead to heart problems.
In daily life, healthy people are prone to respiratory alkalosis caused by hyperventilation if they shout microphone or karaoke for a long time, enter the escape room, ride a roller coaster and shout and other conditions that require frequent ventilation;
At the same time, respiratory alkalosis may also be triggered by prolonged crying and shortness of breath in children or infants.
What should I do if I am poisoned?
Wang Xiongbiao, chief physician and doctoral supervisor of the respiratory department of Shanghai Putuo District Central Hospital, said that most patients can be relieved naturally and generally do not need to be admitted to the hospital.
If you feel tightness in your chest, you should not open your mouth and inhale sharply, but use your nose to breathe steadily. If there is significant discomfort, try using a paper or plastic bag to wrap the patient's mouth around and suck the exhaled carbon dioxide back into the body. (Note: The above methods are not recommended for people with asthma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular underlying diseases, as they may have counterproductive effects.) )
These symptoms appear
Seek medical attention now!
Doctor's reminder: For acute conditions that cannot be relieved, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
For example:
手指突然異常僵硬,偶爾狀如“雞爪子”,口唇麻木,不能言語;
impaired consciousness, convulsions, syncope;
Arrhythmias, respiratory arrest, etc.
Doctor reminds
In daily life, everyone should pay attention to maintaining emotional stability as much as possible, avoid excess, tension and anxiety, especially reduce the situation of shouting loudly. At the same time, breathing can improve lung ventilation, promote sputum discharge, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and reduce stress.
