Additional body mass generally means higher oxygen requirement, but upper body mass can restrict the expansion of the lungs, decreasing the volume of air that enters with each breath. So since more oxygen is needed, and less oxygen is inhaled, breathing rate generally increases.
The higher your elevation, the less oxygen you have (e.g climbing a mountain). This does not mean you lung capacity is less, it just means you need to breathe more to get sufficient oxygen
The size of the lungs is based on body size, and to a lesser extent on ethnicity.
this is just a thought, but maybe heavier people breath faster and harder because their lungs are compressed more (fat build up).
it affects the heart rate because it will take longer time to circulate blood around the body.

What gas does the body monitor that can then affect the rate of breathing?
Carbon dioxide
How fast do cats breathe and what factors can affect their breathing rate?
Cats typically breathe at a rate of 20-30 breaths per minute. Factors that can affect their breathing rate include stress, exercise, temperature, and underlying health conditions.
How fast do kittens breathe and what factors can affect their breathing rate?
Kittens typically breathe at a rate of 20-30 breaths per minute. Factors that can affect their breathing rate include stress, excitement, illness, and environmental factors such as temperature and air quality.
How does size affect the breathing rate of tropical fish?
The smaller the size of a tropical fish the faster their breathing rate will be. The smallest fish will have the fastest breathing rates.
How are your breathing rate and pulse rate related?
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
How does the relationship between heart rate and breathing rate affect overall cardiovascular health?
The relationship between heart rate and breathing rate is important for overall cardiovascular health. When the heart rate and breathing rate are in sync, it indicates that the cardiovascular system is functioning efficiently. Regular exercise can help improve this relationship, leading to better cardiovascular health.
