Let's talk about how to stop a panic attack.

If you have them, you're going to be very happy you're watching this video.

I'm going to show you how to put yourself back in control over the situation because in

a panic attack, there's an intense fear and it's a feeling of you're out of control.

Here are some symptoms, hyperventilating, sweating, dizziness, palpitations, a lump in the

throat or you feel like you're suffocating.

Your pulse rate starts to go up, your heart starts to pound, chest pain and there's quite

a few other symptoms.

Now, what's actually fascinating about a panic attack is that all the symptoms are identical

to another condition called respiratory alkylosis.

This is a situation where the pH of your lungs is too alkaline.

Hyperventilation, sweating, dizziness, palpitations, lump in the throat, high pulse rate, heart

pounding and chest pain, they're the exact same symptoms.

That's pretty strange.

Why do you have these symptoms over here, panic attack, are identical to this other condition

right here?

To understand what's going beyond behind the scenes, there's something I need to teach you.

There is an effect called the Bohr effect, B-O-H-R. Bohr comes from someone's name, Christian

He was a Danish physiologist and I think it was 1904.

He made an observation, which still stands right now.

In order for oxygen to bind and be released in the blood, in the hemoglobin, you need CO2.
