The urge to hyperventilate will pass quickly if this is the cause.
yes, it commonly happens after i climb an overpass or do an all out sprint. it's usually after i have stopped exerting myself but i'm still breathing heavily because i'm tired. they i will start to get dizzy
I'm familiar with controlling hyperventilation when not doing exercise, it's really hard to slow your breathing when you've just done a bunch of strenuous work
