I suppose this is more of a general question about the physiology of breathing.
Is it possible to have a high heart rate but a low breathing rate, or vice versa? Would this necessarily produce CO2 buildup? How are the heart rate and breathing rate connected?
I noticed shortly after running or biking, it will feel like my heart rate is elevated, but my breathing rate is closer to normal. I think the breathing rate is mainly triggered by CO2, but why doesn't the heart get the message right away? Is there some other mechanism at work?
