The hyperventilation due to hiccups can lead to hypocapnia i.e. reduced level of CO2 in blood leading to cerebral vasoconstriction, leading to cerebral hypoxia and this can cause transient dizziness (''upahatasmruteh''), visual disturbances, and anxiety.

''Pranvahasrotas'' ~~involves~~ the respiratory center in the brain (''prano atra murdhaga'') along with respiratory tract from nasal cavity till the alveoli. Role of ''hridaya'' is also significant. The cardio-pulmonary relationship can be easily understood in diseases like left ventricular failure with marked decrease in ejection fraction and pulmonary congestion leading to respiratory distress. ''Hridaya'' is ''mulasthana'' for ''rasavahasrotas''. ''Rasa'' and ''rakta dhatu'' are part and parcel of ''udakvahasrotas''. The content of ''udakvahasrotas'' is decided by the gastrointestinal tract. Thus one can understand why ''mahasrotas'' has been mentioned as ''mulasthana'' of ''pranvahasrotas''.

Nasal flaring (Matta rishabha eva nisha) occurs when a person is having severe difficulty in breathing or respiratory distress. It is most commonly seen in children and infants; Respiratory distress is observed in acute respiratory distress syndrome, a serious reaction to various forms of injuries to the lung, and infant respiratory distress syndrome, a syndrome in premature infants caused by developmental insufficiency of surfactant production and structural immaturity in the lungs.
