The medical term for hyperventilation is tachypnea (tack-IP-nee-ah) or hyperapnea. The normal respiratory rate in a healthy adult man is 12-20 breaths per minute. There may be slight individual variations, but a respiratory rate more than 50 is generally hyperapnea.Tachypnea is rapid, shallow breaths, and generally >30 if tachypneic.
Hyperapnea is rapid breathing but is deeper breathing than in tachynpnea. Tachy is the medical prefix for "fast", eg tachycardia is a fast heart rate.

Tachypnea is a medical term used to describe an abnormally rapid breathing rate. It can be a sign of an underlying medical condition such as an infection, heart problem, or lung disease. Treatment would depend on identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
sinus arrhythmia
Sinus dysrhythmia
Fibrillation is an arrhythmia with rapid, chaotic contractions.
Ventricular tachycardia is the term for rapid heart rate starting in the ventricles. Any resting pulse rate over 100 in an adult is defined as tachycardia.
Signs of tachypnea, or rapid breathing, include increased respiratory rate (more than 20 breaths per minute in adults), shallow breathing, chest retractions, and shortness of breath. It can be a sign of various medical conditions such as lung disease, heart failure, or infections. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
135 beats per minute
A symptom of cold shock can include rapid breathing, increased heart rate, pale or blue skin, and possible loss of consciousness.
The nervous system controls heart rate and respiratory rate. It may be influenced by the endocrine system as well. A rapid heart and breathing rate are typical results of activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
