I'm starting to feel concerned because I keep getting this urge to take deep breaths every now and then, but I'm breathing normally in between. It's been happening for about 15 days now, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

I just moved to Bengaluru and for the past four nights, I've been waking up in the middle of the night struggling to breathe. Before coming here, I was getting Ayurvedic treatment for Allergic Rhinitis but stopped once I moved. I'm worried if this breathing issue is somehow connected to the Allergic Rhinitis. Could it be related?

yes do to allergens

My father recently had aneurysm surgery and also has a hernia along with diabetes. His doctors suggested a sleep study, which showed he has sleep apnea. Now we're not sure which specialist to see for this should it be a pulmonologist, neurologist, or physician? He already has multiple health issues, so we want to make sure we consult the right doctor for his sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is best managed by a pulmonologist; they coordinate CPAP therapy and monitor breathing‚Äîimportant especially with heart and diabetic issues.
