Excessive Yawning and Constant Need to Breathe Deep

Have you been exposed to dust? You might be dehydrated?

Here's what i do when i have this problem. I would drink water untill my lungs feels expanded with oxygen. Keep drinking water till you start to feel like oxygen is coming in smoothly instead of heavily.

One of my patients was exposed to a sand storm. She then had problems breathing for weeks specially in her sleep. When she was told to drink water constently her lungs started clearing off and breathing wasnt a problem for her anymore.

Hi, I finally found a solution to this awful problem.

I had the same symptoms on and off for many years. It got worse and worse, eventually affecting my sleep, leading to further complications such as anxiety and depression. I visited a number of GPs over the years and was always told the same thing: that it's caused by stress. They put me on antidepressants which did not help at all (they made me feel terrible). I was desperate and tried everything: hypnosis, meditation, lots of exercise, massage, herbal remedies, breathing exercises, treatment for hyperventilation syndrome, Buteyko method, reflux medication, etc. etc. but nothing helped.

Fortunately I visited a Physiotherapist last year for an unrelated issue and I mentioned my breathing problem to her. She said it can be due to muscle tension triggered by trapped or restricted nerves in the mid/upper back (made worse by working long hours at a computer) and suggested I try using a foam roller to free up my vertebrae. It was a miracle cure for me. I can hear the vertabrae clicking as I use the roller and I can instantly take a deep breath - such a relief. I 'roll out' my back two or three times a day now and it keeps the breathing problems at bay.

I'm sure that breathing difficulties can be triggered by all sorts of different conditions, but if you have a tight upper back or you find the problem gets worse after leaning over a desk or computer for long periods then this could be the solution for you.

Good luck. I hope this helps someone out there. (I wish I'd heard it years ago).

Wow I really thought I was the only one who felt like that. I've always had a hard time explaining how i felt. What I've read so far in this forum could be the result of anxiety. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I don't know why I get these episodes but they have been the cause of all of my worries. I've gotten all types of exames done and everything has turned out good. What I've tried is deep breathing for a couple of minutes. It tends to calm things a bit. If there's anything else that works please share. Good luck and keep your head up. It will pass.

Hello, yesterday i got sigh breathing problem, i m 32 year old nw, actually what happened i got mild enlarged prostate problem 2 months before but while i urinating i do strain while straining i take sigh breathing but yesterday i could not take deep breath correctly, now i m getting sigh breathing problem everytime like in a 5 or 10 min, now i am so confused what i can do now, this enlarged prostate created a lot of problem to me,pls help me thank u.

Ironically googling my symptoms which I shouldn't and came across this. I have been suffering from this exact same issue the last 2 months, ekg and BP good, just got done with a 30 day heart monitor waiting for those results,and went to see pulmo , everyone says i t's mostly due to anxiety. I always feel like im the only with this issue it's comforting seeing there are many others, going to try the foam roller see If that helps. trying the holistic approach too as I do not want to be on meds.. Not sure why this started all of a sudden but hopefully I can get back to myself soon.

But lately im beginning to have this symptoms like upper back pain on both sides, chest pain and for once i noticed blood in my stool but i keep close observation and since then have not noticed again. can someone pls help me if you have an idea what this could be?

is sigh breathing will cause anxiety or a lot of thinking , i m getting anxiety and panic and thinking a lot about health issues pls help me.

Having the same problem too...been happening for about a week now im really scared.

Hello, I have read a few of your posts about

I am 32 years old and have these spells where I cant take a solid breath in. I am about 70lbs over weight, however, before i get these spells, it my activity level is fine. So its not that. I also in the oast have had a few panic attacks. So severe at times i had to stop working and going to school. When i had those attacks, ot wasnt the same as the trouble breathibg i have now... however, the breathing issue did throw me into panic once.. it was so bad i cried and shook. I also experience chest pain once in a while when this happens. Not always. I get very dizzy and light headed. Sometimes tingly. I have had about 3 of these spells. Once when I was about 23, 31, and now 32. When it happens, it lasts for like a month or two. It is very uncomfortable. Its like my chest wont allow me to take deep breaths. I can get one in once in a while but rarely. I also have trouble sneezing and yawning due to this. Seems to be ok when laying down. But trying to walk very far, even getting dressed is a task. It is waaaaay worse when showering. I almost hyperventilate in the bath. It is ruining my life. I do have afib.... i really dont think it is that. If i dont think about the breathing it is ok usually. I try to occupy myself to take my mind off of it. I have been to the doctor 3 times. He has no idea. Says could be afib....asthma....stress..... and the hospital said maybe axid reflux... all my xrays and heart evals looked fine...besides mild afib..Sometimes i wonder if im just freaking myself out.... but sometimes it's as real as day. I use albuterol nebulizer every 4 hours. It helps a lot but not 4 long. This is so scary and making life difficult. Please if anyone has answers let me know. Thank you.
