    Yeah that's typical for hyperventilation. When that happens try to breathe through pursed lips (as if you are blowing out a candle), or you can cover your mouth and one nostril, and breathe through the other nostril.

    I m also having same problem since last one year. I sometime feel breathless. Saw many doctors and underwent checks of cardio-vascular, ecg, x ray, usg and many blood tests. They yielded no results. Pls advise me what to do. Sometime I feel it with upset stomach. Does gas related problem can lead to this??
