i was lying down on my back last night and suddenly felt my whole chest (lungs maybe)inflate. Does anybody know why this happened as its happened quite a few times recently? This left me really gasping for breath
Inflate or deflate
Inflate I think. I felt like an air bed
Doctors look at me as if i am insane, but sometimes i feel something blocking airflow. When whatever it is moves or changes, the next inhale feels huge. That's the only thing i know of. Unless you're north american: we're the only people on earth who use only the upper portion of the lungs. If so, or if your parents were, perhaps those huge inflations are when you accidentally inhale completely. With full inflation you can even feel lungs press against your kidneys.
(and no, the "block" doesn't feel like mucus and it's never anything i can bring up)
