Why do we sometimes rapidly inhale then deeply exhale?

At times we do that automatic thing where we rapidly gasp[?] around 3-4 times in a row then deeply exhale. It happens most commonly while crying but it also happens randomly. Either way, why?

Assuming you’re talking about hyperventilating, it looks like someone had a similar question several years ago. I, personally, don’t have a definitive answer for you because I’m not in the medical field and don’t trust myself to give an educated guess.
