The above effects are found and should take place in all people. However, the degree of these problems and their personal symptoms (what is felt) are individual. In some people, hyperventilation affects mostly the nervous system, in others cardiovascular, or the respiratory, or the digestive, or the hormonal system, or their combinations. There are people who experience a wide range of negative physiological effects, while some individuals can be less affected. The particular problems depend on genetic make up (or hereditary predisposition) and environmental influences (see next topic).
Similarly, the psychological effects of hyperventilation are highly individual and may vary with time for the same person. Indeed, that depends on which over-excited brain area is going to control personal feelings, emotions and behavior.
Physiological research also shows that the more we breathe the stronger the effects.
