Hello,
The irregular breathing with hematocrit of 30% can be related to various problems such as
- Kidney malfunction with diabetes incipidus (high volume diluted urine without urine sugar)
- Issues with hypothalamus or pituitary axis affecting adrenal glands
- Others
If you can provide me all details of your lab reports, further guidelines can be figured out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
