Does everyone realize the medical advice for hyperventilation is not to breathe into a paper bag?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) March 17th, 2010

The question was asked what does breathing into a paper bag do for someone short of breath, dizzy, etc. I answered it restores the CO2 balance, but medical advice is not to do this. I have got 8 GA’s for giving out lousy advice.
