A member asked:

Slow down: First you need to slow down your breathing, and try to avoid hyperventilating. If you get in that situation again, classically it is taught to breathe into a paper bag until the symptoms go away. The bag must be sealed against your face. The bag is paper, not plastic. Hope this helps!
