What are the symptoms of respiratory OCD?
The symptoms of breathing compulsion disorder mainly include excessive ventilation, hyperventilation, and difficulty in breathing. As a mental illness, patients suffering from breathing compulsion disorder need to promptly seek medical examination and cooperate with doctors for active treatment.
Excessive Ventilation: The causes of breathing compulsion disorder are related to genetic factors and may also be caused by environmental factors. If the condition is severe, it can lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, causing symptoms such as dizziness and headache. At this time, drugs like Sertraline Hydrochloride Tablets and Lorazepam Tablets can be prescribed for treatment.
Hyperventilation: Prolonged stress can increase the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system and accelerate the respiratory rate, leading to an increased heart rate. As the condition progresses, it may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hand tremor and excessive sweating. At this time, neurotrophic drugs like Oryzanol Tablets and Vitamin B6 Tablets can be prescribed under a doctor's guidance for improvement.
Difficulty in Breathing: If the condition further worsens, it can lead to difficulty in breathing and even asphyxia. At this time, oxygen inhalation can be used to alleviate the symptoms, and surgical treatment may be considered if necessary.
In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mental state, avoiding excessive emotional excitement or anxiety. Additionally, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet, with a focus on light and digestible foods such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge.
