difficulty yawning also

I too have difficulty yawning,I  start to yawn and can't complete it,it just shuts down  and I feel like I can't take a deep breath.sometimes chest and back pain, It takes me 2 or 3 trys to complete a yawn. I have had numerous tests,blood work,cat scans of chest,abdomen,head,cardiac stress,profusion scans,chest  xrays,all were normal. I have no allergies.What could be causing this in my case?

Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Is this the same as difficulty opening your mouth when you yawn? It is good that the tests done were normal. However, you may benefit from further evaluation by your ENT doctor or dentist to rule out TMJ, post nasal drip, sinusitis  or other pulmonary issues like asthma that may  be associated with this.   Take care and do keep us posted.
