# Dangers of Hypoxia
- The true danger of hypoxia is that a person can often times not notice their own worsening condition. With almost any other risk or condition, proper attention can generally minimize the level of danger. However, hypoxia can creep in without the victim even noticing.
- Once the person is in an impaired state, they can become unable to help themselves or make safe decisions.

- Increased breathing rate
- Headache
