The primary control for how fast you breathe is the level of carbon dioxide in the body. When carbon dioxide levels increase, the body responds by increasing the breathing rate to expel more CO2. While other factors like oxygen levels, blood pressure, and body temperature can also influence breathing, carbon dioxide levels are the most critical regulator.
