A member asked:
Can chronic hyperventilation syndrome cause false positives in hydrogen breath tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seems so: So, be sure to advise the providers doing and interpreting the test of this condition. They might do a different test or prevent the hyperventilation in some way or whatever. It would be a good idea to find a way to stop that breathing pattern for many reasons - ask about it. Best!
