Physiological: Agree with Dr. D that you should visit a doctor at your convenience. However, the need to take deep breaths, like sighs, is physiological.

Anxiety?: If the problem is not affected by activity, it may be from anxiety especially for one at your age. Has there been a lot of stress lately?
