What Are The Episodes Causing Deep Inhalation?
I occasionally have a sudden uncontrolled deep inhalation. I could be talking, eating, or nothing at all. Any reasons why? I am 61, 5'4", 150 lbs. and have a variety of medical conditions: Parkinson's, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, epilepsy, mitral valve prolapse, bi-polar. That's all I can remember right now.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of psychiatric illness like anxiety or depression is more likely for your symptom.
You are already having bipolar disorder. This can complicate anxiety and depression.
So better to consult psychiatrist and discuss this symptom.
You may need counseling sessions and anxiolytic or antidepressant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
