What can be the cause for a person breathing at a faster rate even when lying down in a resting position. I can see their chest moving quickly
Jan 7, 2013

Dr. Mirna Waked Pulmonology
It depends on the age
Infants and children have this type of breathing
And this is normal
Otherwise it can be a non fitness to effort or
OverWeight
It can be an early sign of pulmonary and cardiac disease
Finally if occuring during sleep it might be sleep apnea
