What Is Cheyne–Stokes Respiration?
I know what cheynne stoking breathing is. However, when you have a patient who takes strong deep breaths through their nose so that it causes it to flare, and they exhale through their nose also...is there any condition that brings this type of breathing on while sleeping? When touched, the breathing lightens, but the person does not wake. When left alone, they go back to the same deep breathing that almost seems unnatural.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Cheyne Stokes respiration is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by progressively deeper, and sometimes faster, breathing followed by a gradual decrease that results in a temporary stop in breathing called an apnea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De
