I am new to this forum and just found this. I started having intermittent breathing when I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2023. My pulmonologist said it may be part of the disease but he didn’t really have an answer. At first it was unsettling but I have gotten used to it when it happens and just go on about my day. I also involuntarily make a funny noise from my throat when I have this, so I just make a joke about it and move on. I guess it’s part of my journey with this condition. Blessings to all of you.
