Hypopnea or shallow breathing while sleeping is a problem which we often tend to overlook. In hypopnea syndrome, very little air is inhaled in as opposed to deep diaphragmatic inhaling which is ideal for health. If you suffer from hypopnea often, then it’s time for you to consult a doctor. Like every other sleep disorder, this one also needs treatment.
Shallow breathing during the night can be caused due to a number of medical conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases restrict the amount of airflow into our lungs, and as a result lead to rapid and shallow breathing. Pulmonary edema can also be a probable factor leading to shallow breathing while sleeping. Breathing can also be affected by anxiety or stress.
