In individuals with congestive heart failure, the respiratory rate can increase significantly, often exceeding the normal range of 12 to 20 breaths per minute. It may rise to 20-30 breaths per minute or more due to fluid accumulation in the lungs and the body's effort to compensate for reduced oxygen delivery. This elevated breathing rate is a response to both pulmonary congestion and the body's increased demand for oxygen. However, the specific rate can vary greatly among individuals based on their condition and severity.
