The reasons that asthma causes an increased respiratory rate are fairly obvious. When the amount of air entering your lungs with each breath is reduced, you will have to take more breaths in a shorter period of time in order to provide your body with the oxygen it needs to function properly.n many cases, the increased respiratory rate won't even be immediately noticed by you. It will simply occur, gradually worsening as time goes on. When your asthma flares up the increase in respiratory rates will be much more pronounced but there will likely be a steady rate that is above the norm.
