shallow breathing , or chest breathing is a minimal breath image to the lungs, usually by drawing air into the chest area using the intercostal muscle rather than the entire lung through the diaphragm. Shallow breathing can cause or be a symptom of rapid breathing and hypoventilation. Most people who breathe shallowly throughout the day and almost always unaware of the condition.
In upper lobe breathing, clavicular respiration , or clavicular breathing air is drawn predominantly to the chest by increased shoulder and clavicle (clavicle), and simultaneous contraction during ablation. The maximum amount of air can be drawn in this way for only a short period of time, as it takes a lot of effort.

Terms
Some conditions are characterized by, or are symptomatic of, shallow breathing. The more common of these conditions include: various anxiety disorders, asthma, hyperventilation, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and shock. Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks often accompany shallow breathing.
Breathing is too shallow, also known medically as hypopnea, can cause hypoventilation, which can cause the buildup of carbon dioxide in a person's body, a symptom known as hypercapnia. These are conditions related to nerve-muscle disorders (NMD) that include Lou Gehrig's disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Polio, Post-Polio Syndrome and others. This is a serious condition if not properly diagnosed, or if ignored. It is often treated as a "sleep disorder" after doing sleep research, but "sleep studies can not diagnose shallow breathing (JR Bach, M.D.)." Serious symptoms occur most often during sleep; However, because when the body is asleep, the intercostal muscles do not breathe for the mechanism, it is performed by the diaphragm, which is often disturbed in people with NMD.
Very often, after a sleep study, when a person fails to use positive pressure ventilation (PAP) ventilation, they are given nocturnal oxygen at night; this should not be used without clear evidence of 94% or less oxygen saturation; unwise use of oxygen (which is a prescribed medication) can cause brain damage.
In addition, polio patients with respiratory conditions and others with NMD may be given a tracheostomy (opening of a breathing surgery performed at the neck). Any person with symptoms that appear during sleep should seek specialists in nerve-muscle respiratory conditions.
The test to determine shallow breathing is simple and can be done by the bed by a knowledgeable licensed breathing therapist.
