👉 A gasp is a sudden, loud, and forceful exhalation of air that occurs when someone inhales deeply or exhales forcefully. It can be caused by various conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung diseases, or other respiratory disorders. Gasps may indicate difficulty in breathing or are often accompanied by symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest pain.
