Niraj Naik explains how hyperventilation and emotional stress disrupt the carbon dioxide–oxygen balance, impair oxygen delivery, and can become chronic. He recommends slowing breathing, using reduced (efficient) breathing techniques, and preferring nasal over mouth breathing; lifestyle factors such as diet also influence breathing and stress.
