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

[Cloefish]

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.

yeh im getting the same feelings im thinking its depression so im going to the doctors tomorrow to check it out.I have only started having this problem for about 2 weeks now and i see what ur saying i start to have panic attacks and i feel aswell like im going to have a heart attack,also at times i feel as if when i breathe its like i havent taken a breath and that just makes the panic attack worse.It makes me feel bad cause i can just randomly get a panic attack from not being able to breathe just by sitting with friends as soon as nothing is happening (i dont like to tell them i just go home when it happens, but that makes me feel bad because its like its controlling me) im even staying up all night having a panic attack like a couple of nights ago i had a panic attck all night didnt sleep and had work that morning worst day ever.But hopefully this can be treated it will feel nice to feel normal again

This is exactly what I am experiencing.  I am a 46 yr old male I had a pretty active job (lift a lot of weight and walk a fair amount).   2 years ago I had a heart attack and for about 1.5 years I had bad chest pain and constant arm pain which doctors thought was panic and anxiety attacks.  Then just 2 months ago I had 2 more heart attacks back to back.  I am on several medications for high blood pressure and I was just put on Effexor 37.5 mg.  Since I was put on the Effexor I am now having the exact breathing problems your having.

It sounds a little like how I feel when my blood sugar is low.  I am a diabetic.  I also yawn a lot.  I have anxiety issues as well.

Jenny from Israel and I do not know good English, so I did a translation of Google - get the spelling mistakes in understanding
Hi
 
34 suffered from terrible suffering from age 7
I made all the possible types of tests and everything is normal
 
What I have to add all what I read this forum like this
1: There is no doubt that some of those who suffer from this problem is due to his anxiety - problems in the neck - Heart - Thyroid
 
2 no doubt that those who suffer from it do not understand what it is, so all offers of breathing through the nose and throat and eyes That Chinese and Thai breath that crap better not to offer them this problem that has nothing to do
 
3 there's a reason organic and have not found it (up to ten years ago thought that ulcers came from stress ..)
 
4 We are sick is wrong that no one opened a web site with a list of thousands! People who suffer from it and sent it to all doctors in their country and to all medical researchers, articles, TV, etc.
Must! Raise public awareness that
You know that if we do not address it and be proactive researchers and doctors to check it out at least some of our children will this hell
(I'll deal with it in Israel)
 
 
My theory:
 
The brain called the pituitary gland have - pituitary gland secretes hormones and 12 in close contact with the adrenal gland also secretes several substances
 
 I think one of the substances secreted secreted too much (some materials are complicated for testing)
 Then it causes problems in dopamine - Serotonin - Nitric oxide causes great yawn, then the body lowers the level of dopamine - Serotonin - Nitric Oxide by Wild sympathetic system does not yawn and then it repeats again and so the initial condition
Short cycle is difficult to leave without finding the problem first thing

Again the problem is not the dopamine / serotonin but too Hormones
 

 I did not examine the issue of intestinal worms and it sounds interesting
The cervical spine problems makes sense


Explanation for the symptoms of all
In the early years is a small problem (?) Only of breath because of the material secreted and then it starts to be a problem with the disruption of dopamine, etc.
That Mohammed food / stress / anxiety because it raises / lowers the level of dopamine / serotonin in the blood
It gets off to sleep - that sleep has a high prolactin dopamine contradicts the?
We concentrate on something interesting (TV / Internet, etc.) it gets better - increases the concentration of dopamine and serotonin in the brain!
(Just a question for men - Have you noticed that anyone with that problem has increased sexual activity?

I have no doubt he will find a solution with a small ball that blocks the unnecessary provision


 
Prayer to God who will have the problem and solution

Hi, I've had this problem for 7 months. My problems include not being able to yawn, a lump in my throat, and not being able to take a deep breath.
#1 I don't know how some of you have lived with this for so long, it's very very frustrating.
#2 Thank you everyone for posting things on here. It helps knowing that I'm not alone.
#3 After reading many of these suggestions, I kept on seeing certain disorders popping up. I have had a few of these: anemia, possible acid reflux, hypothyroidism and a pinched nerve. So after reading the anemia and acid reflux, I started taking the iron supplement I was taking prior to December. I stopped taking it bc I was taking another supplement that had iron in it and I didn't want to take too much. I also started taking Zantac, max strength 150mg. I don't know what to do about hypothyroidism and I was considering going to my chiropractor, but haven't bc the iron and Zantac HAVE WORKED!!!! This is a complete return to normal, it's absolutely amazing. I actually had some trouble getting a deep breath today, but I think it has to do with the altitude changes since we are vacationing in the smokies. All I did was take another iron tablet and I've had no problems all evening. If you are anemic, you don't have enough oxygen carrying blood cells in your body, therefore not getting enough oxygen. At least the last part of the sentence I believe is true.
#4 My doctor and nurse practitioner all have told me my lungs sound great, they can't hear anything wrong and I run 5 miles a day so it can't be anything severe. Well, they obviously don't have this issue so this is why I had to turnto the Internet.
Thank you all for your posts. They've helped me out so much. Good luck!

I am going through the same thing- I have been to a pulmonary dr and he had me go for a sleep apnea test.  Found out that is what it is so far.  I also have very large tonsils that might have to be removed.  As well, I have nodules on my thyroid. There is a blockage from the throat to get the air through normally is what we are experiencing and yes its frustrating and scary as hell!!. I get to go for another sleep apnea test to see which sleep device is best for me n then to the ENT for the tonsil situation.Its been a process but, I want to breath normal again!! Good luck!!

Hello all.........
I know I know this is one of the most annoying ...disorder.?...I really am not sure if you can even call this a disorder!!
However,
I am  99% sure...that this is a physiological thing than anything else.
Most of ya aware of Xanax and propranolol...they help but theyr kinda bad if u use a lot..
TRY FOLIC ACID + METHYLCOBALMIN TABLETS I found bit..nvm REALLY  helpful with least side effects.
They are kinda vitamin pills..but they also calm our nerves..which prevent ya from constant yawning..take them after ya eat..works best !!
However, the most important thing is to stay positive..!!!


LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!!
