Tachypnea - abnormally rapid breathing rate, Hyperbreathing

Tachypnea refers to an abnormally rapid breathing rate, as I mentioned earlier. It involves an increased number of breaths per minute. Tachypnea can occur due to various reasons, such as fever, respiratory infections, lung diseases, metabolic conditions, or as a response to physical exertion or anxiety. It is important to note that tachypnea itself does not necessarily imply a pause or cessation of breathing.
