I know I should not put this question here, but since there are so many docs, MDs, moms and dads here, so I post it here.

My mom had severe abdominal pain over the weekend. So she breath too fast, her fingers cramped, numbness on arms below elbow, feet, two thigh, chest area and area around mouth and neck. My family got so scared and did not know what was going on since the numbness and she could not move her fingers anymore. My dad called 911. They came in less than 5 min. Paramedic said it was hyperventilation. After they instructed my mom to breath slowly, all the numbness went away slowly. Now she is OK.

My question is: if fire truck came like 15 min later, will the numbness became permanently? Will this cause paralyzing?
