I will be sitting down or laying down and at random will find myself either taking a deep breath out of nowhere or a short, quick inhale. In my mind I imagine it is like my lungs are keeping a normal rhythm and then just decide to either take a big gulp of inhale or exhale, etc. and then goes back to normal. Nothing medically alarming…just wondering why that happens and the physiology behind why that happen. Thanks in advance!

It’s very common for people with forms of Dysautonomia and called “air hunger”. (Not necessary to have Dysautonomia to experience this, but in such cases it’s literally your body remembering to breathe and re-regulate your autonomic functions.) The person who commented first nailed it too for otherwise healthy people.
