Straining to complete yawn, yawning all day, feel i just need a deep breath.

I have had this problem for a long time, but in the last year it has gotten worse and I cant stand it.  I regularly go through periods where I feel the need to yawn or get a deep breath and I just cant. I try and try over and over to yawn (causing me to get head aches), and finally accomplish it just to need  to yawn again. I am a sleepy person all the time,  but  the  straining  to yawn thing  makes me  crazy! I also have increasingly bad short term memory problems (at only 25), could this be connected to the yawning, and lack of oxygen to the  brain? could I  have asthma?  thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Hello everyone I wanted to give you a better post but I didn't find the older post were they refer to the diagnose. Someone wrote down a link relating this symptoms to stomach irritation. I want to tell you that at least for me this is the reason. I check this post in Februar and decided to take your advice. First of all the breathing exercises help me a lot whenever I have this problems. I haven't have this problem for a while now, because I realize it was stomach or diaphragm related so I stopped eating pepper, coffee and all of those things. I actually forgot already about it, but today I ate too much pepper and as magic it came again. So at least in my case I have to say it is related. I hope this will clear things for some of you.
Also in my case when I get the symptoms I try to not yawn at all but do the breathing exercises because yawning just makes it worst.
Good luck I wish you all find a diagnose

How to fix your yawning, shortness of breath and  difficulty breathing problems.Do it and then post your feedback so others can benefit.
You need to expel the stale air from the lungs first, before fresh air(oxygen) can get into the lungs.
To do this breathe out from the nose once per second, as if you are blowing your nose gently. The stomach will contract in, and breathing in will happen automatically.
This is kapalbhati pranayam, I have mentioned this in my earlier posts.
Do this expelling of air 60 times(up to 900 times or 15 minutes), and then do some deep breathing through the nose. Try this and make your comment.
Get the old air out, to let oxygen come in!
Several people have benefited, and you will too.
