  • Title: The hyperventilation syndrome: a neurosis or a manifestation of magnesium imbalance?
    Author: Fehlinger R, Seidel K.
    Journal: Magnesium; 1985; 4(2-3):129-36. PubMed ID: 4046641.
    Abstract:
    It has been proven with clinical, psychological and electromyographic tests that the hyperventilation (HV) syndrome cannot be separated from so-called genuine tetany. Tetanic patients with and without HV are characterized by a significant hypocalcemia; but a significant hypomagnesemia is exclusively found in tetanic patients with HV attacks. Possible pathogenic mechanisms are discussed which may explain the HV attacks as a consequence of primary magnesium deficiency.
