Re: *Breating rate??-lkwetter

This one is farily new to me. But, thyroid controlls the metabolic

rate and the metabolic rate controls how much oxygen the body needs

and uses. The brain adjusts breathing to get the amount oxygen

levels in the blood it needs. Like pulse, this one can be less

accurate, I imagine. If you have large lung capacity and breath more

deeply naturally, then the rate will be slower. I you have anemia or

some other health condition that reduces oxygen levels in the blood,

breathing can be faster. There are probably many conditions that

might affect breathing rates. So, this is one of those general

things that you add to pulse, temps, energy levels, symptoms, and

reflex speed to help create a general idea of your thyroid function.
