Suggest Treatment For Hyperventillation After Car Accident
4 days ago I just suffered a car accident. Although I may be bruised and all, I notice that as I was in a car on the way home I began breathing really hard gradually. The problem slowly fade as I exit the car and enter my house. Is this a serious problen I should go to the doctor?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible, since the difficulty breathing resolved after you left the car, that it is related to anxiety.
It is not uncommon to feel anxious in a car after experiencing a car accident.
If it continues or worsens then you would have to be evaluated by your doctor.
I hope this helps
