A little stuck on hyperventilation.
If Breathing is controlled by CO2 levels and as stated in my books, a rise in CO2 levels triggers breathing. Then when hyperventilationg and expiring more CO2 than u should, this would lower the bodys CO2 level and thus should not trigger the breathing therefore returning the breathing rate to normal. So it should be a self fixing problem. But its not. Please explain
