breathing??
I didn't know what category to put this in sorry..
but anyway.. sometimes out of random, I'll just be like breathing normally, then suddenly I'll feel like I have to take a really deep breath. I've noticed this a lot when I'm laying in my bed too. I think half of it is just me thinking about it though, because when I'm laying in my bed and like zone off into a little world, it doesn't bother me. But the more I think about it, the more I'm like breathing really deep. Also I've found out that when I yawn, it goes away. lol. This sounds so stupid but it's happening a lot now and I don't know why. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.. but my parents said when I was born I had a heart murmur.. but it closed up.. What exactly is a heart murmur and could it of opened up again and possibly be causing this? Also, I think my dad has asthma, could it be that? Why wouldn't I have known I had asthma before though [I'm 14]. I'm not overweight. I don't get much exercise however, especially since it's summer, I'm usually on the computer. Does anybody have any clue why this is happening? Sometimes when I'm lying in my bed too, when I take a deep breath in, it sounds like something cracks or something.. lol not like bad but like if you cracked your knuckles, like a sound like that. Ahh, what's wrong with me??? Sorry it was so longg. Please help. thank youu

If you're coughing at night so that it wakes you up, it is possible you have inherited your dad's asthma. You would need to see a doctor to get this checked out.
The occasional deep breath may be nothing to worry about. It could be boredom, the lack of exercise, you may just sometimes not be taking in enough oxygen etc.
I always say that if you are concerned about your health, talk to your parents and then see a doctor, they are the ones qualified to answer your queries and calm your fears.
As to the heart murmur, lots of children are born with them, in the majority of cases it sorts itself out in time and has no effect on the childs health.
Briefly, the heart is divided into 4 chambers, 2 are on the the left side of the heart and 2 on the right. The blood returning from the body is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated, then it is pumped through the arteries to the rest of the body. After this oxygen has been used, the blood returns to the heart through the veins and the cycle starts again.
The word murmur describes a sort of swishing sound that is made as the blood flows through any of the heart's chambers or valves, or even through a hole within the heart (not so common). Murmurs are rated on a scale of 1-6. 1 is barely audible and 6 is very loud. Depending on the type of noise, a doctor should be able to tell where in the heart it is. If the doctor then considers further treatment to be necessary, a child would be referred to a cardiologist.
The most common type of heart murmur is a functional or innocent murmur. It is produced by a normal, healthy heart and generally goes away as the child gets older and poses no threat.
This sounds as though it could be the type you had if you're fine now. If you're still concerned, ask your parents and/or doctor for more information about it.
Hope that helps and good luck.
