Can't get a breath!

Posted By Josh on August 20, 1998 at 09:38:06:







Recently, and only recently, I've had a difficult time catching a deep breath.  It seems to occur throughout the day, but I sleep fine.  I wake up fine.  I eventually catch a deep breath, especially when I try to yawn, but it is frustrating and I wonder if I'm doing any damage to my lungs or other organs in the process.
I am a healthy, non-smoker, 39-year-old male. I do have sinus problems from time to time and also have problems swallowing food (it gets "stuck" going down).  That problems has been a bit more prevalent of late.
Any over the counter medication or anything else I can do?
Please let me know.
