How should school nurse react if you hyperventilated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not panic!: Hyperventilation is a self limited condition. If one does nothing the patient will get better. Sometimes a paper bag is used over the mouth and nose to help correct the problem, but it is not necessary. Calm and soothing words work just as well.
