Tachypnea may be caused by fever, lung infections, heart failure, anemia, medication side effects, or other conditions. Tachypnea is often accompanied by shortness of breath and a feeling of lack of air.
In adults, the normal respiratory rate is 12-20 breaths per minute. Tachypnea is diagnosed when the respiratory rate is more than 25 breaths per minute. In children, the normal respiratory rate is higher, so tachypnea is determined based on age standards.
