 ==Overview==
-The respiratory alkalosis leads to changes in the way the [[nervous system]] fires and leads to the [[paresthesia]], dizziness, and perceptual changes that often accompany this condition.
-A rapid traditional intervention is to have the patient breathe into a paper bag, causing [[rebreathing]] and restoration of [[Carbon|C]][[Oxygen|O]]<sub>2</sub> levels. Some physicians do not advise the paper bag rebreathing method due to the possibility of inhaling too much carbon dioxide.
-The same benefits can be obtained from deliberately slowing down the breathing rate by [[counting]] or looking at a the second hand on a [[watch]].  This is often referred to as "7-11 breathing", because a gentle inhalation is stretched out to take 7 seconds (or counts), and the exhalation is slowed to take 11 seconds.
