Question 5

i got abg's done and they said my oxygen levels were fine but i had high carbon dioxide due too hyperventilation could you explain further please ?

Accepted Answer

The reverse.: I believe you got the information the wrong way . It is possible you can have near normal oxygen and high carbon dioxide . This happen due to hypoventilation not due to hyperventilation. If you are hyperventilating , the opposite is bound to happen. If you are hyperventilating , you are getting rid of carbon dioxide and the level of carbon dioxide will drop.

Question 6

in the past 3 months my left eye has hemouraged suddenly. no coughing or sneezing or high bp. i have hyperventilation syndrome. whats causing this?

Accepted Answer

?: By hemorrhaged, do you mean you got a red spot in the white of your eye (a scleral hemorrhage)? This occurs spontaneously and is not harmful or predictive of a systemic illness. If by hemorrhage, you mean a retinal or vitreous hemorrhage (with diminished vision) it's much more serious and requires evaluation by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist).

Stress reduction: Try a walk in the woods or gardens daily. Also relaxation &amp; imagery of throwing your challenges into the wake at the back of a boat or sitting in your favorite chair &amp; letting the issues slip off your finger tips should help. Prayer or transcendental meditation will get your frontal lobes lighting up. Try machine learning computerized personality test, i.e. MMPI-2.
