Avengers 4: Woman Reportedly Hospitalized Due To Uncontrollable Sobbing

"Avengers: Endgame" marks a major moment for Marvel and its cinematic universe, so it's no surprise that fans are getting emotional seeing the film.

But one woman was reportedly so overwhelmed she had to go to the hospital afterward.

According to reports, the 21-year-old woman in China was uncontrollably sobbing during the film and afterward she was short of breath and her hands and feet felt numb.

An emergency room doctor told Chinanews.com that they believe the woman was suffering from hyperventilation. The woman recovered after doctors gave her oxygen and got her symptoms under control.

"Avengers: Endgame" earned a record $60 million from Thursday night showings in North America, according to the Walt Disney Co. Internationally, Disney said the film has already brought in $305 million in its first two days in theaters.

Supplemental oxygen does not itself treat the symptoms of hyperventilation... however, distracting the hyperventilator into ceasing hyperventilating may.

The tingling hands fit with HV, but O2 would make it worse. As an EMT, I would make the patient breathe with me to my rhythm to recover.

I know nothing about Marvel comics but she wanted to go so being grandma I can't say no. I didn't understand most of it but I did hear people sniffling at the end.
