I had a MI in December and one stent and am recovering well now. I was wondering if anyone else has these symptoms Occasionally when resting I take an involuntary very deep breath or gasp. Why?

Everything changes post MI including the lungs ability, plus, if you previously had any kind of sleep apnea, I've found this has become worse.

Some changes may also be related to medication side effects

I am on Ticagrelor and get it occasionally
