A member asked:

And what is a normal pulse rate during hyperventilation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. William Holmes answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Same as Exercise: This will vary from one person to another but you can think of hyperventilation as being similar to an episode of strenuous exercise, with a heart rate that will be similar to a state of exertion. For adults, heart rates in the 120s to 150s would not be unusual, sometimes higher.
