The psychophysiology of the sigh: II: The sigh from the psychological perspective
2022, Biological PsychologyCitation Excerpt :Breathing patterns resulting in deviations from normoxia and normocapnia, may cause respiratory symptoms. However, respiratory symptoms caused by dysfunctional breathing patterns can also occur in the presence of efficient gas exchange (Courtney & Cohen, 2006; Hornsveld & Garssen, 1997; Hornsveld, Garssen, Dop, Spiegel, & Haes, 1996; Vlemincx, Van Diest, & Van Den Bergh, 2012). While the term ‘dysfunctional breathing’ has been long used for a variety of maladaptive breathing patterns, recently, a classification system has been proposed to better understand and define dysfunctional breathing patterns (Boulding, Stacey, Niven, & Fowler, 2016).

2018, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :It is sometimes considered to be a subset of syncope, as the resultant hypocapnia from hyperventilation can lead to cerebral vasoconstriction and global cerebral hypoperfusion. However, some studies of ambulatory pCO2 monitoring show that the symptoms from hyperventilation are not always accompanied by a measurable decrease in pCO2, indicating there may be another metabolic cause for hyperventilation leading to the symptoms of breathlessness, light-headedness, paresthesias, and even syncope (16). Hyperventilation due to overdose, such as salicylate ingestion, can be an important clue, as this intoxication requires emergent intervention (Table 1).
Preliminary development of a complex intervention for osteopathic management of dysfunctional breathing
2016, International Journal of Osteopathic MedicineGetting to grips with 'dysfunctional breathing'
2015, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :However, ambiguity in the use of the term, and the use of multiple terms to describe the same condition, has hampered our understanding of DB and created difficulties in objectively identifying it. Terms such as dysfunctional breathing [12–16], hyperventilation syndrome [17–25], disproportionate breathlessness [24,26], behavioural breathlessness [27], anxiety related breathlessness [28], sighing dyspnoea [26,29], psychogenic functional breathing disorders [30] and somatoform respiratory disorders [31] have all been used to describe what appears to be essentially the same problem. Many of the terms imply a significant psychological component, and this perceived link between psychological dysfunction and DB is one of the reasons physicians often avoid this area.
