Excessive Yawning and Constant Need to Breathe Deep

I truly believe this is an anxiety related response and we have the ability to make it go away. I started a new job and I psych myself up everyday before I go into work so immediately upon entering work I have this but once I start work I forget about the anxiety and things start getting better. Think about what your doing at the times you feel like this. Write down what your thinking then look at what you wrote when the breathing episode subsides. Like I said mine is dead of having an asthma attack and not being able to breath. By the way these attacks send me into an asthma attack. We can beat this.

The problem started with swollen turbinate  and adenoids and deviated septum and at the same time changes in my breathing pattern.  There's a constant urge to deep breath with a satisfactory sensation.

Sometimes when that urge comes and I  breath deeply , i dont feel satisfied  and again i have to breath  deep until I reach that sensation. Sometimes I have to wait for the yawn to get full deep breath. This is going on the whole day after every 4-5 mins.

On july 6, 2016  i had a surgery for swollen turbinates, deviated septum and adenoids. But still the problem is there. This is november 2017 and i am still suffering.

Is there anyone who can help???

How to get rid of anxiety-caused excessive yawning?

When excessive yawning is caused by being anxious, calming yourself down will bring an end to the stress response and its changes. As the body recovers from the active stress response, excessive yawning should subside. Keep in mind that it can take up to 20 minutes or more for the body to recover from a major stress response. But this is normal and shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

When excessive yawning is caused by persistent stress, it may take a lot more time for the body to recover and to the point where excessive yawning subsides.

Nevertheless, when the body’s overly stressed state has been corrected, this symptom should completely disappear. Therefore, the excessive yawning anxiety symptoms needn’t be a cause for concern.

You can accelerate the recovery process by reducing your stress, practicing relaxed breathing, increasing your rest and relaxation, and not worrying about your excessive yawning.

For a more detailed explanation about anxiety symptoms including the excessive yawning anxiety symptoms, why anxiety symptoms can persist long after the stress response has ended, common barriers to recovery and symptom elimination, and more recovery strategies and tips, we have many chapters that address this information in the Recovery Support area of our website.

Im following this as ive suffered with the shortness of breath and constant yawning for about 6 years now....thought it was just me thank god im not alone....been to docs had blood test, spirometer jobby test , x ray nothing came back....trying a saltpipe at mo seems to help but not much......

Omg I was looking at this thread after yawning like 20x in 5 minutes, feeling like I could not, for the life of me, get my lungs to inflate properly.

In 15 minutes I must have yawned literally 50x.

When I was not yawning and I was just trying to breathe, I could not inhale for even half a second before my inhalation would be abruptly halted because my chest/lungs refused to inflate any further it seemed. It was ridiculous.

Then I realised that my diaphragm was probably stuck.

So what I did was I sat up super straight, my shoulders even tilted back a little. And from there, I just gently shimmied my shoulders in order to loosen up. Imagine a dancer trying to shake their tatas. Do that but slowly.

I did this and it loosened up my entire upper body including my diaphragm.

And VOILA it worked like a charm! I can finally breathe normally again.

So I initially thought it was soy lecithin allergy. Then thought it was Coke Zero. Anyway, cut out anything with soy lecithin and stopped drinking Coke Zero (they are so bad for you anyway, so no loss). Still I was having the breathing issue, feeling I needed to yawn to get a satisfying breath. Some days lately it was way worse. One day I really thought I might not get enough oxygen at all. Scary. I read the posts regarding GERD. The suggestion to try Prilosec. So I tried it. But I broke the rule and I changed more than one variable. I had already stopped drinking milk right after my real scare. I had read that people can have a milk allergy. Not lactose intolerance, but an actual allergy. You should research milk allergy. 

So anyway, I started the Prilosec 9 days ago. But also just before starting that I also stopped drinking milk. I can say for certain that the breathing issue has stopped. I still have a few more days of the 14 day Prilosec doses. But I am really thinking that I have a milk allergy. 

Prilosec you do a 14 day single pill a day dose. Then you can do it again four months later. But I am really thinking it was the milk causing my breathing issues. But either way, it is really, really great to be breathing normal again.

Here is from Livestrong regarding milk allergy...

Trouble Breathing

For those allergic to milk, when milk proteins are ingested, the body’s immune system responds. This triggers inflammation, which can occur in the sinuses. The inflammation causes an overproduction of mucus, resulting in the common symptoms of a stuffy and runny nose. The increase in mucus production can also cause watery eyes.

Inflammation of the trachea and bronchi (the tubes that lead to the lungs) can inhibit the flow of air and create trouble breathing. Symptoms can include wheezing, coughing and asthma.

Anaphylactic Shock

Anaphylactic shock, also called anaphylaxis, is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Although a rare reaction to a milk allergy, it can occur. When the body’s immune system attacks the milk proteins, the large amount of chemicals released in the body can trigger shock. The symptoms include a sudden drop in blood pressure, airway constriction, rapid weak pulse, rash, nausea and vomiting.

i’ve had this is exact same for a full year now... been to so many doctors who have passed it off as anxiety but i mean i don’t have anxiety for every minute of my life? i have it constantly like i don’t breathe normally ever i only take these deep sighs or yawns. had a blood test to check for anemia and i was clear, my lungs seem perfect, they thought i had asthma and then passed it off and it’s the absolute worst, often it gets so bad i get lightheaded and feel faint, some doctors think it’s a food intolerance but if i cut anything out of my diet e.g. dairy i still have it, and there’s nothing that stops it and i constantly feel like i have something heavy sitting on my chest, seeing people on here having it for like 10 years fees brillllll
