For the past 2 months, I have been experiencing irregular breathing patterns especially at rest. When paying no attention to my breathing, it will start will a period of apnea, followed by deep inspiration (as if body is getting insufficient oxygen). But often the deep inspiration does not give any relieve. Salbutamol MDI does not provide relieve. Could it be linked to a lack of sleep? And should I be concerned?

Dear lybrate-user, you have not mentioned any History of Past disease or Family History of Cardiac or Chest disease, therefore it may be just a passing phenomenon. But in case you are concerned, then please visit a Pulmonologist and get your PFT Test done. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) will disclose any hidden disease of Lungs. Meanwhile try getting Good Sleep, Proper Diet and Exercise for good health.
