Untitled

There should be something at the very begining of the article to say that Hypoventilation is not the same thing as Hyperventilation

Symptoms

Need to add symptoms.

another cause

The definition of Hypoventilation given at the beginning of the article is met by lack of breathable air, like under water or in vacuum. Should it be added to the list of possible causes? 2003:C9:9F3A:7300:70CC:DB5F:1FB8:1D7D (talk) 19:38, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Snoring

What about sleep apnoea? With sleep apnea, breathing can stop for more than 30 seconds. Quote from the article: "Longstanding recurrent episodes of apnea, over months and years, may cause an increase in carbon dioxide levels that can change the pH of the blood enough to cause a respiratory acidosis." --77.190.144.45 (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
