Do we ACTUALLY hyperventilate when we have speech blocks? When you have a speech block, I start like hyperventilating (body moving back and forth, gasping for air). Is this actually hyperventilating? And if yes, wouldn’t it be good to do something like breathing therapy for hyperventilation? Or why do we do the ‘spasms’?
