Expert Answer

Fast sleep panting may come from heat, obesity, nightmares, pneumonia, asthma, emphysema, or heart disease. When hot, it pants to release heat; obesity can press the airway and cause rapid breathing.

Pneumonia, asthma, emphysema, or heart disease can also cause labored breathing and panting.
