On Monday I started gasping for breath when cycling and had a sudden involuntary spasm/jerk in my right jaw, today this has happened again whilst walking.

It's worrying me greatly now, I shouldnt be gasping and I shouldnt have involuntary jerking/spasms.

It's making me feel like there is something wrong with my lungs or possibly something neurological.

Hi, gasping is probably just a way your body expresses anxiety; if not, you were probably hyperventilating. Your body is a machine and it will not run perfectly for every second of your life. Twitches, jerks, spasms etc, especially mild ones, are nothing to worry about. Consult your doctor if you are genuinely concerned - but your user name suggests you have issues with health anxiety.

Lung problems and neurological disorders are not common and highly unlikely. The simplest explanation is usually true.
