I'm confused - I get that Hyper is too much CO2 and Hypo is not enough, but the book says that one is caused by hyperventilation and the other caused by rapid, shallow breathing. Isn't rapid shallow breathing the same is hyperventilation?
I took a practice test where Hypo and Hyper were both possible answers, and I got it wrong. The question was
Excessive breathing resistance in diving due to a maladjusted or improperly maintained regulator can result in...
I guessed Hypo, thinking if the reg wasn't working properly, that could cause stress and there for panicked breathing... but I was wrong. It's hyper. I checked the Encyclopedia, and I can't find anything about bad regs.
Help.
Thanks,
Maureen
