Recently, some netizens posted on social platforms: I yawned wildly during Zhou Shen’s concert in Wuhan. The netizen said that this was because had respiratory alkalosis when entering the venue. On the day of Zhou Shen's concert, it rained heavily and the temperature was high. The weather was so stuffy that I felt out of breath and unconsciously inhaled too much. Fortunately, I am more experienced and have been adjusting myself at the beginning, using a raincoat to block the inhalation of carbon dioxide. After the numbness in my hands and feet subsided a little, I started to yawn uncontrollably. The body frantically regulates oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is so difficult.
Many netizens left comments under this netizen’s post: “I’m just going to tell you why my hands were numb during the entire game.” “I also felt this way during the Shenzhen game. Fortunately, I went to the emergency room before and I know what causes respiratory alkalosis. Adjust”…
Why does respiratory alkalosis occur when attending a concert? What kind of disease is it? How to treat?
Breathing too fast causes carbon dioxide to be excreted too quickly
High temperature weather, hypoxic environment, etc. may occur
"Respiratory alkalosis, often caused by hyperventilation syndrome, refers to excessive lung ventilation causing carbon dioxide to be excreted too quickly in the body, leading to It is a balance disorder characterized by abnormal blood pH and an increase in pH, which causes the blood pH to become alkaline. Hu Dandan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital, Zhejiang Province, introduced .
"To understand it in layman's terms, it means that under certain conditions (such as emotional excitement), the breathing rate becomes faster and faster. If this breathing rate is too fast, too much carbon dioxide is excreted in the body, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood decreases, and bicarbonate is replaced. The compensatory decrease will cause the blood pH in the body to become abnormal and become alkaline, which is what we commonly call 'respiratory alkalosis'."
Hu Dandan said that respiratory alkalosis is common in emotional women and children. The common cause is psychogenic hyperventilation. In addition, metabolic abnormalities, hypoxia, central nervous system disorders, salicylic acid poisoning, gram-negative bacilli sepsis, artificial respiration, liver cirrhosis, metabolic acidosis, pregnancy, etc. may also cause Respiratory alkalosis.
Common symptoms include abnormal sensation around the mouth or in the hands and feet, such as pin-pricking or numbness; some may include dizziness, confusion, or even syncope; muscle spasms may also occur, and common twitching of the hands and feet or trismus, such as claws Shatou etc.
"The numbness of hands and feet mentioned by netizens is a typical manifestation of respiratory alkalosis. The causes of respiratory alkalosis may be related to high temperature, too stuffy weather, lack of oxygen, etc. As for yawning, it may be caused by hypoxia. secondary performance," Hu Dandan said.
The woman answered a phone call on the viaduct
Suddenly she had shortness of breath and her hands and feet were numb.
Hu Dandan once treated a female patient. She answered a car phone while driving on the viaduct. She suddenly had shortness of breath and her hands and feet were numb. After pulling over in an emergency, He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then called 120. The ambulance took him to the emergency room of the hospital. It was later learned that the female patient heard bad news on the phone, which caused her to become emotional and develop respiratory alkalosis.
Respiratory alkalosis occurs, how to give first aid? Netizen
mentioned that when he felt out of breath, he used a raincoat to block it and inhaled carbon dioxide, and then he gradually got better. In this regard, Hu Dandan said that the practice of netizens is similar to the paper bag breathing method . The purpose is to form a relatively sealed space and re-inhale the exhaled gas to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
"For respiratory alkalosis caused by emotions, we must try to stabilize the patient's emotions and let them breathe through the nose to avoid gasping through the mouth. Paper bag breathing can also be used. If there is no paper bag, you can cover your mouth and nose with your hands. Usually it will be relieved slowly. . If you still feel unwell for a while, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for further examination and treatment.”
