How do you know when your hyperventilating?

You may notice hyperventilation by experiencing rapid, shallow breathing, often accompanied by feelings of lightheadedness, dizziness, or tingling in the fingers and toes. You might also feel anxious or panicked. Monitoring your breathing pattern can help you identify hyperventilation, especially if you realize you're breathing faster than normal or feeling short of breath despite not exerting yourself. If these symptoms occur, try to focus on slow, deep breaths to help regulate your breathing.
