Hypopnea

Shallow or slow respiration; it is a normal sign in athletes but an indication of brain disorder in other persons.


A decrease in breathing rate, which indicates that the body is attempting to compensate for metabolic disturbances due to disease in non-respiratory organs by retaining acid in the form of carbon dioxide.


A condition characterized by superficial or abnormally slow breathing, typically resulting from the partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, thereby causing disturbances in sleep patterns.
