Sounds to me like Chemda and Keith were both experiencing hyperventilation of some sort.
As I understand it, hyperventilation and panic attacks, are your body's reaction to getting too much or too little oxygen. That can cause all kind of weird effects, which fortunately are temporary. You may get very anxious, have shallow breathing, or suffer sensory disturbances like tingling, pricking or numbness or having chest pains. Or even having hallucinations, not being able to understand words, or losing part of your sight, or depersonalization, derealization. Your doctor is not calling you panicky or simply pulling the "stress"-card, but he is naming a concrete, physical thing caused by mental and/or physical stress. The cause for this type of disturbances in your oxygen-household can be purely physical as well, I think. For instance, if you have trouble breathing in your sleep for whatever reason, you could wake up hyperventilating. That's what happened to me a few times, and I've had all the special effects I've mentioned above, and more. In my mind the direct cause was physical rather then mental. I also suspect age may be a factor, as I've heard a lot of people in our age group with similar experiences. After an episode, your body needs time to get it's oxygen level normal again. Unfortunately, the scary effects of hyperventilation and panic attacks can make the attack worse, by scaring you so much that you can't breath right. There are simple things you can do, like breathing into a bag, but you should ask advice from a doctor before you do that. Anyway, such attacks are definitely a sign that you should try and take it easy for a while, and get your body in balance. Last edited by Namdnal Siroj; 09-29-2011 at 07:14 PM. |

I only drink a few times a year, but I can still relate to the question.
I think I have an eating disorder of some sorts where food is my comfort, and when I sit down to play a video game, or surf the web, some passive activity like that... I feel as though I have to multi task in many different ways. Such as if I'm playing a simple game not only must I have a podcast going on in the background but I feel as though I have to have something to constantly snack on. If I don't it drives me crazy... This I'm trying to change that and Cheetos orange gets everywhere |

Panic attacks have nothing to do with O2 saturation. You can hyperventilate during one and exacerbate the problem, but no source I've ever consulted makes any correlation between the onset of panic attacks and a lack or overabundance of oxygen.

You might want to point out to Peyton Clarkson that google will use an exception list in its searches in order to refine results better. This means that words like “the” “and” “is” etc are not even considered when it cross references the words you have typed into the search box against it’s massive database of website contents. This means he has no reason to worry about the website URL not returning his name correctly.
Furthermore he should perhaps man up a little and accept the cold hard truth that for better or for worse it is in the interests of a self employed stand up comic to cover every base possible in terms of promoting him or herself. Not wanting to sound cold as he was a good guest but it did sound a little like he was making excuses for not doing the obvious. |
