A member asked:

Does hyperventilating cause chest discomfort, feeling like i can't take a deep breath, a feeling of not getting enough air. how do i stop monitoring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be anxiety : Anxiety can cause you to hyperventilate. Chest pain could occur with low oxygen levels. You could gave other respiratory problems like asthma which can cause you to be short of breath.
