Answers:
I cried and gasped so hard as a tot that I fainted lol. That's a really good question. I think when we're crying, we're breathing out, letting air out as we're sobbing, whatever. Then we get to the point without even realizing it that we haven't taken a breath in a while, and we gasp.

Think about it, when you're crying, you're kinda pushing air out. That's me though :)Health Question & Answer

When we cry, sometimes mucus are secreted from our nose and we breathe through the mouth. We take out a lot of air as we cry that our body sometimes lacks oxygen so we tend to gasp.Health Question & Answer

When you're crying a lot, it makes your breathing harder, so gasping is just really trying to breathe again and also calm down :) I have no scientific answers though, lol.Health Question & Answer
