Involuntary gasp for breath every 20mins.

Hi im looking for some help I've been having random gasps for air every 20mins for at least last 2 months. I was checked for sleep apnea but they wernt concerned after test. But these gasps are during day no matter what I'm doing they still come. My family also asking me why I'm doing it but I can't help it. I don't know I'm going to do it til I'm doing it. And I'm quite loud when I gasp. Any idea?

I did a google search with the statement, 'why do some people gasp loudly every ten or fifteen minutes?'

None of these are necessarily what is going on with you, but I would see both a neurologist and a pulmonologist.
