Why do my lungs never feel full? i always have to take full deep breaths.usually it doesn't work, but sometimes i get a fulfilling breath.

Herring-Breuer: The name above is the reflex felt when the lung inflation feels fulfilling and you go into an expiration. Sometimes by paying attention too much to our breathing we need all those deep breaths to feel fulfilled. Go out, look at things you enjoy, the sea, the trees, listen to wind the birds, a song, etc., and you know what, you will forget about your breathing, as you'll find you're just fine.
