Ways Your Breathing Rate Can Change

For today's blog I will talk about 3 different ways that can change a persons breathing rate. Breathing rates can change through many different ways such as when a person has asthma, your emotions, chronic bronchitis, apnea, and emphysema. Some of these factors affect your breathing rate. If a person has asthma, the breathing rate can change because asthma is irritants in the bronchial passages. Making it hard to breath oxygen in and out. Therefore, causing the breathing rate to rise. Your emotions also control the breathing rate such as when you get scared you take a long gasp and then hold it then you would start to panic and make the rate rise. Chronic Bronchitis is when the mucosa in the lower respiratory passages become inflamed and starts to produce a great amount of mucus. The mucus traps ventilation and gas exchange. No oxygen getting through so, the breathing rate would increase.
