When you breathe extremely fast you lose CO2 which causes your blood to be too alkaline (it’s normal pH range is 7.35-7.45). Your blood needs to have certain criteria met in order to make the gas exchange between O2 and CO2 happen smoothly. When its not met it is harder for the exhange to occur and therefore your brain doesn’t get what it needs and shuts you off.
