Ep031 Hyperventilation

Someone’s breathing fast—what do you do?
Hyperventilation can be caused by anxiety, but it can also be a sign of something far more serious. In this episode, we unpack how to recognise hyperventilation, ask the right questions, and respond with confidence.

We cover:

• What hyperventilation is and how it presents

• The many possible causes—including medical emergencies

• How to assess the person and rule out red flags

• When to treat it as anxiety—and when to call for help

Fast breathing can be confronting—but your calm, informed response makes all the difference.
