Yeah, it's a real thing, but it's not backed up by science. It was discredited at least 50 years ago, so try to keep up.

From the article:
"The bottom line is, unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re hyperventilating due to an anxiety attack, leave the paper bag maneuver to the TV writers."

The line you quoted is implying my point exactly- that it works for hyperventilating during a panic attack. If you are NOT hyperventilating due to a panic attack, leave it to tv writers.

Yes, I also read the article. You are posting things in support of my argument. Let me explain since this is clearly wooshing right over you:
OP said “breathing in a paper bag works for hyperventilation during a panic attack.”
I said “breathing in a paper bag works for hyperventilation during a panic attack.”
You and the other person said “No guys, it says right here that it doesn’t work for hypoxemia.”

Would love to read the 50+ year old studies you're referring to. All current recommendations are that using the "breathing into a bag" method works but should only be used if the hyperventilation is due to a panic attack. There are other things that can cause hyperventilation, in which case rebreathing like this can be dangerous.
