A member asked:
I was wondering what would cause unexplained rapid breathing during sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elivated co2: IF a person obstructs during sleep the co2 will rise and the oxygen level decreases. The brain will be stimulated to change this an you will increase your respiration to increase you oxygen level nd decrease you carbon dioxide level
