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!

What you’re experiencing is actually quite common! Sometimes, your body might take a deep breath or a quick inhale to help regulate the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. These spontaneous breath changes can happen due to tiny adjustments your brain makes to ensure your body gets enough oxygen. It’s a normal part of your body’s way of keeping things in balance.
