Hyperventilation is a condition characterized by rapid or deep breathing that can be caused by a variety of emotional or medical factors. Emotional causes of hyperventilation include stress, anxiety, and panic. Medical causes can range from respiratory illnesses like asthma and COPD, to diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA), hypothermia, pregnancy, severe pain, drug or medication reactions, and infections. It is important to note that high blood glucose levels are not typically associated with hyperventilation.
