Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 HELLO ANDREA I ALWAYS BREATHE FASTERN THAN NORMAL WHEN I AM IN PAIN. THE MORE PAIN....THE HIGHER MY RESPIRATORY RATE IS. BEFORE I GOT SO ILL, I WAS A HOSPICE NURSE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. ONE OF THE PERIMETERS FOR GIVING PAIN MEDS TO PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT COMMUNICATE, WAS TO CHECK THEIR RESPIRATORY RATE. IF IT WAS ELEVATED FROM THEIR NORM....IT WAS A GOOD INDICATOR THEY WERE IN PAIN. MAYBE YOU COULD CORRELATE YOUR INTENSITY OF PAIN WITH YOUR EPISODES OF " HYPERVENTILATION " ? MY GUESS IS, IF YOU CAN CONTROL THE PAIN, THE EPISODES WILL STOP. BEST WISHES, MARCIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 HI Sally Really interesting that you uncovered this, West Suffolk is my local hospital... yes hyperventilation is brought on by stress... usually linked with panic attacks. and I recall they have something to support these people. Adult mental health care is good here.. we have nothing for kids though! I believe that Nevin's little boy hyperventilates because his breathing is not very efficient so that his body creates this breathing pattern as a way to cope with the under oxygenation caused by poor breathing. West Suffolk Hospital is not known for its initiative or out of the box thinking... so forgive me if I am wrong, I think this is more something they are using to support us poor flat land folk to deal with the stresses and strains of a flat landscape! and possibly not a condition like Nevin's son, which will almost certainly dates back to before he was born.

If you google NHS hyperventilation you get 3/4 sites spread around the country. If you add the word London you get nothing useful. So it maybe that being in London is part of your problem. The West Suffolk document says that it is caused by stress, can become an apparently unbreakable habit and physiotherapy can help. If you cannot travel to West Suffolk see if your GP will refer you to the local physios on the strength of this. Which London hospital is treating you like this?Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 HI Sally, Thank you so much.I asked for a referral to physio from my GP but as she said,they are busy dealing with other serious conditions.She wanted to wait the first step from he neurologist. There is a hospital in Hackney but I live in Islington,so they don't accept him to their therapy sessions.At present,he is going to be seen by the neurologist on the 2nd of February.I will take lots of papers related with hyperventilation and it's complications.This time I am not putting this issue aside,not just letting them to accept as behavioural.I will look at the site you gave.I will also talk to NAS.Many thanks to you,Tracey. I strongly believe that " autism " is the barrier to get the perhaps helpful management approaches such as therapies rather than the drugs.I will go over it. Thanks nevin > > > http://www.wsh.nhs.uk/documents/PatientLeaflets/5268-1.pdf > > This pdf on hyperventilation comes from West Suffolk NHS, Nevin.
