Weird intermittent quick inhale/exhale at random intervals

Posted by ljmontgo @ljmontgo, May 12, 2021

It rarely happens more than once in any giver hour but has been going on for weeks. I researched respiratory illnesses but couldn't find anything. Anyone have a clue what this might be?

Hi, I have had the same intermittent quick breath intake for the past few months, but it seems to be getting better. I think, for me, it is associated with the lung surgery that I had in May.

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.

I have COPD and have experienced the same thing for years….my airway hiccup! It happens randomly, no physiological effect so I’ve just ignored it..
