Oh and.. forgot to ask you all @windwalker @penlee do you guys know of anyone or if you have personally experienced this before - involuntary inhalation like short gasps for air, sometimes through my nose, sometimes through my mouth. it happens from time to time for me.. when i sleep or when i'm sitting at rest. i wonder why..

and also, jerky breathing when I walk.

and I could hear my own wheezing sounds during sleep and this only happens after a really tiring day or after I cough really hard.

any thoughts?

@bleo Wheezing is typical, not familiar with jerky breathing. As for the the involuntary inhale, I had never heard of that. I experience involuntary exhaling as I drift into sleep. It is the air that gets trapped in the lungs, usually it gets hung up in scar tissue and floppy airways. The funny part is, it escapes up my windpipe and through my vocals cords. It sounds like a harmonica! When it first started happening; it frightened me. It would startle me awake. Weird, huh?

sounds similar! mine sounds musical too. my sister who sleeps with me wonder if i'm talking or singing in my sleep. yes and i could hear myself too! but lately it doesn't happen as often anymore.

@bleo Omg! You are the only other person I know of that has said that. I mentioned it to my Mayo doctor and he said he'd never heard of such. I have a feeling that some people might be doing it but are unaware, or just don't mention it to their doctors. My husband says he knows when I fall asleep because I toot my horn. LOL.

@bleo Come to think of it, mine hadn't tooted much recently either. Probably because much of my infection has been cleared up. You mentioned your sister. Does she help you with things?
