9. Asthma
People with asthma regularly experience tachypnea, as asthma is characterized by a decreased ability to breathe effectively. Asthmatic patients likely know how to manage their tachypnea through the use of an inhaler or slow breathing techniques.
Asthmatic patients experiencing tachypnea usually have no cause to worry, as the condition is rarely life-threatening in any capacity. However, if a patient doesn't have access to their inhaler, they should seek out medical attention as soon as possible.
