The average person takes between eight and 16 breaths per minute. Rapid shallow breathing, also called tachypnea, occurs when you take more breaths than normal in a given minute. When a person breathes rapidly, it is sometimes called hyperventilation.
People who are ailing tend to have deep and heavy breathing patterns which are often noisy. They will be able to experience air movement in nasal passages and shallow breathing will result in heavier chest movements. They will also be affected by hyperventilation which is also the main cause of shallow breathing.
