- Tachypnea - breathing rapidly
- Bradypnea - breathing slowly
- Eupnea - normal unlabored breathing
- Orthopnea - dyspnea that occurs with lying flat
- Trepopnea - an abnormal awareness of one's own breathing that is seen in one lateral position but not in the other
- Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea - sudden, severe shortness of breath at night that awakens a person from sleep, often with coughing and wheezing.
