well there are a lot of things that have to be first ruled out before anyone can answer your question ! Firstly your medical history , then a certain number of investigation to rule out any basic pathology and if all is well , you can get rid of hyperventilation by simply gradually building your stamina . however, i must tell you that hyperventilation is a a normal phenomenon for beginners

This answer is actually quite simple. Don't run in the heat. Avoid it, and run in the morning or night instead. I live in Texas, so everyday I have to get up early to run.

Reduce your speed you are going to fast ... it happens when you start your runs off at a fast speed because you have energy. go slower on the first half let your body get warmed up

You have to start out for about 15 minutes then increase your time as your lungs can handle it.
