Is your Asthma well controlled? If not, that may contribute to hyperventilating.

Also, there are some breathing techniques that may help. A respiratory therapist or pulmonologist may know about these.

Thanks for the reply Razzle. Asthma and Hyperventilation is new to me. I was diagnosed last August (2012) with Asthma and have been on steroids several times since and as long as i am on those things i seem to do all right. Hyperventilation was suggested to me by a nurse when i was in the Hospital recently and she witnessed the attack i was having.
Thanks again for the help
