Please can someone tell me how many times we breath in a minute ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: normal breathing for an adolescent and adult is 12-16. However, it goes up appropriately with exercise and specific diseases. Medications (like narcotics for example) can reduce it. So, can being in excellent physical shape (like an athlete).
