Tachypnea is a medical term that refers to an abnormally rapid breathing rate, typically defined as more than 20 breaths per minute in adults. It can be a response to various conditions, such as fever, anxiety, respiratory infections, or underlying lung diseases. Tachypnea is often a sign that the body is trying to increase oxygen intake or reduce carbon dioxide levels. It is important to identify the underlying cause to determine appropriate treatment.
