We have previously found that individual anxiety levels influence respiratory rates in physical load and mental stress (Y. Masaoka and I. Homma. Int. J. Psychophysiol. 27: 153-159, 1997). On the basis of that study, in the present study we investigated the metabolic outputs during tests and analyzed the respiratory timing relationship between inspiration and expiration, taking into account individual anxiety levels. Disregarding anxiety levels, there were correlations between O2 consumption…

Breathing patterns associated with trait anxiety and breathlessness in humans.
TLDR
This study suggests that an excessive increase in f in subjects with IH may be due to the interaction of two factors, trait anxiety and breathlessness.
The effect of anticipatory anxiety on breathing and metabolism in humans.
Cardiorespiratory assessment of mental load in pilot selection
The ability to cope with mentally demanding situations and maintain cognitive functioning is a core requirement for airline pilots. Stress resistance is therefore an important selection criterion …
Behavioral Influences and Physiological Indices of Ventilatory Control in Subjects with Idiopathic Hyperventilation
TLDR
The normalcy of pulmonary and chemoreceptor responses suggests that psychological factors may initiate this hyperventilation, which may become a conditioned response with an increased drive to breathe.
Respiratory Changes in Response to Cognitive Load: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The present findings indicate that total variability in respiratory rate is not systematically affected by cognitive load whereas the correlated fraction decreases and it is found that cognitive load may lead to overbreathing as indicated by decreased end-tidal CO2 but is also accompanied by elevated oxygen consumption and CO2 release.
Anxiety and Respiration
TLDR
There is a correlation between anxiety levels and respiratory rate and there is evidence that anticipatory anxiety increases respiratory rate without metabolic change and during this time dipoles are concentrated in the paralimbic area temporal pole estimated by the dipole tracing method.
Baseline respiratory parameters in panic disorder: a meta-analysis.

Are Respiratory Abnormalities Specific for Panic Disorder? A Meta-Analysis
TLDR
Results support the idea that baseline respiratory abnormalities are specific to PD pathophysiology, and Hematic variables suggest that the hyperventilation may be chronic.

Oxygen consumption of respiratory muscles in patients with COPD.
TLDR
The results suggest that the VO2 of respiratory muscles in patients with COPD is higher at given ventilation compared with that in age-matched normal subjects and that this increased VO2 partly may be due to an augmented ventilatory drive.

TLDR
Breathing pattern was measured on a breath-by-breath basis during resting wakefulness and during four conditions of altered mental activity to test the hypothesis that different forms of mental activity would alter the variability of breathing pattern.
Effects of various respiratory stimuli on the depth and frequency of breathing in man.
Breathing pattern and metabolic behavior during anticipation of exercise.
TLDR
The hypothesis that cortical activity associated with the anticipation of exercise causes hyperpnea, which is at least partly responsible for the increased ventilation at the onset of exercise, is tested.
Carbon Dioxide Sensitivity and Personality
TLDR
Differences in personality traits between high and low responders to CO2 suggests that this test may be useful for psychosomatic investigations.
Separation of factors responsible for change in breathing pattern induced by instrumentation.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that use of a MP + NC, compared with nonobtrusive measurement with a calibrated respiratory inductive plethysmograph, alters the majority of the volume and time indexes of breathing pattern, with increases in minute ventilation, VT, inspiratory time, and expiratory time.
Evaluation of exercise capacity using submaximal exercise at a constant work rate in patients with cardiovascular disease.
TLDR
The time constant of VO2 during and after recovery from 50 W of constant work rate exercise, which does not require the subject's maximal effort, is a useful and objective measure of exercise capacity in patients with mild to moderate cardiovascular disease.
