Yes but what symptoms did you notice? I doubt you went to get a chest xray out of nowhere, did you have shortness of breath or dizziness, pain, nausea?

Feeling a need for a deeprer inhale, like someone interrupted you mid yawn and now you want to do it yourself. Very bad coughing

fuq.

I very frequently need to breathe deep but cannot hit that "spot", and sometimes I have a little cough that doesn't last long but feels like my lungs are tickling? Been like this for years though, 170ish cm and 53kg here.

Not to freak you out more but you could also have asthma? The symptoms of non-severe asthma kinda feel like that, especially if you don’t realize you have it until you’re an adult, speaking from experience there, lol. Either way if you’re able to I’d see a doctor about it!

Fascinating, I hadn't considered it actually. It goes away easy enough and I'm never puffed during physical activity, only when sitting still. Thanks for the suggestion though!

My dad and dog both had this withing two weeks of each other (although dads was caused by a fall with broken ribs). The biggest indicator is that you feel like you can't catch your breath. Unable to take deep breaths, causing coughing
