shallow breathing

Shallow breathing is a term used to describe breathing that is shallow or does not go deep enough into the lungs. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, anxiety, or physical conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Shallow breathing can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. In some cases, it can also be a sign of a more serious medical condition, and it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
