What does RM mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

Respiratory movement, or RM, is the normal movement of air between the lungs and the atmosphere. This process includes inhalation and exhalation which allows for oxygen to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Oxygen enters your body via respiration and is then circulated throughout your body by your circulatory system. Inhaled air passes through your windpipe into your lungs where oxygen is absorbed into your bloodstream and transports it to all parts of your body.

Impaired breathing can be indicated by shortness of breath, difficulty catching one's breath, or an irregular pattern of breathing such as pauses in inhalations or exhalations during sleep. Additionally, increased heart rate or changes in color may indicate an impaired respiration rate.

Medical conditions such as asthma, pneumonia, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cardiovascular disease and sleep apnea can all have an effect on respiratory function and respiration rates. Additionally, certain medications may affect one's ability to breathe normally.

Yes, certain exercises such as deep breathing techniques can be beneficial for improving overall respiration rates and providing better oxygenation throughout the body. Additionally, regular exercise encourages good airflow within the lungs which can help to improve overall lung health as well as it capacity for respiratory function.
