Shallow breathing can be an alarming symptom, and it takes a medical professional to discern the cause. Any acute case of shallow, rapid breathing can be from Asthma, a respiratory infection, tuberculosis, lung injury, heart problems, or choking among other things. More chronic shallow breathing could be indicative of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, other respiratory diseases, or even circulatory problems so it's best for anyone with the symptom to get checked out by a doctor.
