What Causes Involuntary Breathing In Children Who Are Overweight?
Hi I m a little nervous about my friend. Earlier today she was breathing very very fast involuntarily for 20 minutes. It happened later on in the day and her grandmother took her to the hospital. They currently do not know what is wrong and I think they are running tests. She is 14 years old, a little bit overweight ( idk if that has anything to do with it ) and her mother smokes quite often around her. Do you know what is wrong her and how it will effect her? Thank you

Welcome at HCM !!
Going through your case I completely understand your health concern.
Being an overWeight should not have any association with rapid breathing...
In my opinion your friend should be examined by physician and workup should be done for accurate diagnosis.
Is she get fainted? Is abnormal breathing occur every time or has some specific association?? Is she having stressed life?? These all queries need to be answered...
Hope ur query is answered adequately..
