Rate of respiration in normal adult is 15 to 20 minutes/ minute. They are not 'Deep' breathing. So shallow means how mush shallow and second is how often. If you take shallow breathing at normal rate then the answer is 'Yes'. If you take shallow breathing more often, then the answer is 'No'. But as level of carbon bi oxide increase in blood, it is the most powerful stimulant of respiration. Try holding the breathing for two/three minutes and then you will come to know what is the POWER of nature is.No body has ever died by holding the breathing willfully.

Yes, shallow breathing can increase carbon dioxide levels in the blood by not effectively exhaling carbon dioxide from the body. Shallow breathing may prevent the full exchange of gases in the lungs, leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
If the blood concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the breathing rate is most likely to increase. This occurs as a response to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
The body can increase the rate at which carbon dioxide is excreted through faster breathing, which helps expel carbon dioxide from the lungs more quickly. This can be triggered by factors such as exercise, stress, or metabolic changes that increase the body's production of carbon dioxide.
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.
Carbon dioxide is the substance that acts directly on the central chemoreceptors to stimulate breathing. Increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood triggers the chemoreceptors in the brain to increase respiration rate in order to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body.
During rebreathing, the breathing pattern may change by becoming more shallow and rapid as carbon dioxide levels in the body increase. This can trigger a response to increase breathing rate and depth to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore proper oxygen levels in the blood. Rebreathing can cause effects like dizziness, tingling sensations, and light-headedness due to the altered gas exchange in the body.
