Best Answer

Respirations can be counted to determine the rate of a person's breathing. You need a clock or wristwatch with a second hand. Begin counting when the second hand reaches 12, and watch for when the person's chest rises during intake of a breath. Ignore exhalations. Count for a full 60 seconds.

Normal rate of respirations average around 18 to 20 breaths in one minute. Exercise can temporarily raise the rate into the low 20s. Stress or being excited or upset can increase the rate as well.

How does heart rate affect breathing?

Heart rate and breathing are closely linked through a process called cardiorespiratory coupling. An increase in heart rate can signal the body to adjust breathing rate and depth to maintain balance. This synchronization helps regulate oxygen intake and carbon dioxide elimination to support the body's energy needs during physical activity or stress.
