The primary control of how fast you breathe is the level of carbon dioxide in the body. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the body signals an increase in the breathing rate to expel more CO2 and intake more oxygen. While the levels of oxygen and other factors like body temperature can also play a role, carbon dioxide levels are the most significant in regulating the breathing rate.
