Reply to comment by ZoraNovaTarot in TIL breathing into a paper bag to ease anxiety attacks is a real thing, with science to back it up, and not just something seen on TV/Movies. by OneSideDone

From the article:

"The bottom line is, unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re hyperventilating due to an anxiety attack, leave the paper bag maneuver to the TV writers."

The line you quoted is implying my point exactly- that it works for hyperventilating during a panic attack. If you are NOT hyperventilating due to a panic attack, leave it to tv writers.

Yes, I also read the article. You are posting things in support of my argument. Let me explain since this is clearly wooshing right over you:

OP said “breathing in a paper bag works for hyperventilation during a panic attack.”

I said “breathing in a paper bag works for hyperventilation during a panic attack.”

You and the other person said “No guys, it says right here that it doesn’t work for hypoxemia.”
