Is it normal that i breathe in a strange pattern?

I have always had an odd breathing pattern. I notice that I'm doing it usually when I'm distracted or at ease. It goes a bit like this - breathe in a smaller-than-usual breath, hold it for a few moments, and let it out in a huff.
I'm not sure why I do this, but if I try to force myself to breathe even, normal breaths after I notice I'm doing this it feels uncomfortable.
Should I get this checked out?

    I do the same, I'd say it's because you start to become self aware of your breathing.

    Sometimes, when I'm very concetrated somebody notices that I'm not breathing, but when I listen that it disappears, but nothing serious, so, no, don't check it out.

    It sounds like some form of apnea. I'd get it checked out.
