To breathe too quickly or too deeply, so you take in more air than your body needs right then and start to feel , shaky, or tingly in the hands. People sometimes hyperventilate when they are very or in a panic. The tidy school line is that you get too much oxygen. Though actually, that is a little neater than the full picture: you are also blowing out too much of the used air your body needs to keep the blood in balance, and that change is a big part of why you feel so strange. It can feel like you cannot get enough air, so the urge is to more — which makes it worse. Slowing the breath helps more than fighting for extra air.
