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.”

…

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.

Hrm. UCLA Health says it is a thing, but this rando says isn’t…

I imagine that one dude, a very long time ago, got way too drunk on honey wine, wandered out into the desert and passed out next to the exposed bones of a long dead dinosaur. The ribs were large enough that the Sahara sun only gave him sunburns in stripes across his dehydrated body, and that when he arrived back at his village, stripe-ed and hungover, he professed the love and protection of the giant snake god with legs.
