The described symptoms are indicative of hyperventilation, a condition where a person breathes in excess of the body's requirement, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels which can cause dizziness, tingling of the fingers, and other symptoms due to constriction of blood vessels supplying certain parts of the body.
