Grunting like catching a breath 2-3 times a day. On palliative care anyone had experience of this?

Hi eek just a wee bit of reassurance..I actually gulp quite frequently as if trying to get some air in my lungs..my husband always asks what's going on ..the truth is nothing😄just sometimes I need to take deep breaths sometimes to get more oxygen .

Obviously your situation might be different but better maybe to get yourself off to the doctor to mention it just incase there is an underlying cause.

Good morning eekk,

As with all new symptoms , you should always seek medical advice.

Your medical team will know your medical history and are best placed for reassurance and treatment if required.

Best wishes
