Fast breathing all night

Hi All,

I'm 50 years old and in peri. I also recently started HRT, was on birth control for the last 3 years.

Starting March of this year, I've had very fast breathing issues during sleep. I've been to every specialist and done xrays, MRI, lung tests and you name it. The docs can't seem to find anything wrong. Basically, my breathing rate is really high at night between 22-32 breaths per minute according to my Apple watch. This happens from the moment I doze off to when I wake up. Because of this, I don't feel rested and I wake up tired feeling like I've been running a marathon all night.

During the day, my breathing is fine... I don go out of breath slightly more quickly when I do my regular exercises that I have been for years.

Has anyone been dealing with rapid breathing during sleep? Anything that might have helped?

Thank you

    My sincere opinion is, leave the watch, don't wear it at all and stop counting breathing. Relax calm down, you will feel the difference after few days. i faced the same issue.
