Why do you feel dizzy when breathing rapidly?!
Question: In medicine, hyperventilation (or overbreathing) is the state of breathing faster and/or deeper than necessary, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood below normal.[1]
This is in contrast to hyperpnea, where the increased breathing is required to meet demand, as during and following exercise or when the body lacks oxygen (hypoxia), for instance in high altitude or as a result of anaemia. Hyperpnea may also occur as a result of sepsis, and is usually a sign of the beginning of refractory sepsis.
Hyperventilation can, but does not necessarily always cause symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the hands, feet and lips, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, chest pain, slurred speech and sometimes fainting, particularly when accompanied by the Valsalva maneuver. Sometimes hyperventilation is induced for these same effects. Hyperventilation can sometimes be self induced for moments of needed focus and adrenaline.

Because your brain isn't getting enough oxygen.
Its caused by getting too much oxygen in your blood stream (overbreathing) Take a moment to rest to slow your breathing. If it won't slow on it s own try breathing into a paper bag until your breathing returns to normal. This causes the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide to balance out
Because you don't have enough oxygen in your cranium! No wonder you don't know why, yeish!
