A member asked:
Can shallow breathing be a symptom of dehydration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shallow breathing: Shallow fast breathing can occur in a number of pathological states. If a person is severely dehydrated and develops acid build up in the blood stream and possibly shock, then the patient might have this type of breathing. This is not typical of most cases of mild dehydration.
