Healthy adults take approximately 10-14 breaths per minute, but some people breathe 20 or more times-this can lead to feeling out of breath and a range of other symptoms such as tingling in the fingers and around the lips, heart palpitations, tiredness, inability to concentrate on and irritable bowel syndrome, explains Fiona Troup, a physiotherapist at Six Physio in London.(1)____
The symptoms are a sign you're breathing through the mouth instead of doing deeper breathing through the nose.(2)____ This leads a fall in carbon dioxide levels in the blood-as a result of, oxygen can't be released to the muscles and organs.(3)____
This causes muscle spasms, often in the colon where can exacerbate or lead to IBS: meanwhile if the brain is derived of sufficient oxygen levels, it can cause confusion and dizziness.(4)____(5)____
"Fast breathing is basically a bad habit, often results from period of elevated stress, back or neck pain, emotional trauma or surgery," says Ms Troup.(6)____(7)____ One seminal study suggested as many as 10 per cent of those attending general practice suffered this problem.(8)____ Over-breathing, as it is known, shouldn't have any long-term health implications, says Stephen Spiro, professor of respiratory medicine at University College London Hospitals and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation. Therefore, rapid breathing and breathless can be a sign of lung disease, particularly asthma and bronchitis. With these conditions, the airways in the lungs narrow, so it's physically harder for the air to travel in and out.(9)____(10)____
