Hyperventilation occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates more carbon dioxide than the body can produce. This lowers the concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood leading to hypocapnia. The body normally attempts to compensate for this homeostatically but if this fails or is overridden the blood pH will rise leading to respiratory alkalosis. The symptoms of respiratory alkalosis include: dizziness, tingling in the lips, hands or feet, headache, weakness, fainting and seizures. In extreme cases it may cause carpopedal spasms, a flapping and contraction of the hands and feet.
