Sure:
Eating breakfast in the morning:
Depending on the nutritional content of the food. Assuming there is no stimulant like coffee, that has an effect on the sympathetic nervous system and would increase breathing rate, food would not alter respirations. This is assuming the person has normal swallowing ability.
Sleep deprivation: Although no documentation on the subject I am going to say resps would decrease due to decreased amount of O2 and response of the parasympathetic system kicking in for sleep. Yawning etc.
Taking cold meds- Tylenol would not have an effect on resps directly.
It would decrease fever which would in turn MAY cause a decrease in resps.
Other cold meds that contain anti-congestants would also have a greater effect in terms of goblet cell mucous production in the lungs.
1. does not
2. does not
3. if it’s an NSAID, like aspirin, it might inhibit prostaglandins, making you less sensitive to pain. other wise, not much, unless you have a severe allergic reaction and go into anaphylactic shock. Then you would bronchoconstrict, causing an obstruction of the lungs, which can be treated by a Beta-2 agonist, such as albuterol or epinephrine.
I cant really see eating breakfast effecting the resp. system unless you overeat and it gives less room for your diaphragm to drop and your lungs to take in the normal amount of air, and which you would over come by increasing your rate.
“Sleep deprivation: Although no documentation on the subject I am going to say resps would decrease due to decreased amount of O2 and response of the parasympathetic system kicking in for sleep. Yawning etc.”
When you have a lack of 02, you will see a increase in respiration’s, since you are trying to bring in more air which has more 02 in it.
I don’t think Tylenol would make much of a difference either.
Yeah, what -J- said!
