Excessive Yawning and Constant Need to Breathe Deep

Exactly my point that my post needed to be moderated by admin. That takes time and effort away from us to find a solution. Search Excessive Yawning and Constant Need to Breathe Deep in Facebook to find my group.

I'm fairly confident for me it has been dehydration. Sounds crazy, but I got into the habit of drinking seltzers as my sole source of water intake. I am not a coffee drinker. I drink some diet sodas and seltzer. You end up drinking way less water than your body needs due to the fizz making you feel full. And I exercise. And I sweat heavily during exercise. I think this all added up to a constant state of dehydration. For the past several weeks I have been making a great effort to drink plain water, and the recommended amount of water daily and my breathing is back to normal.  For some of you this might be worth trying. Drink at least a gallon of water daily. The recommended daily water intake is take your body weight, multiply by 2/3 and that is the number of ounces you need to consume daily. I am 6-2, weigh 218. So for me that is 145 oz of water a day. That is a lot and I was never anywhere near that amount. And then add to that sweating out liquids during exercise. Recipe for disaster.

 

When you try to yawn will you get a full yawn? 

I went to the doctor and she suggested anxiety was my problem and she gave me an inhaler. That helped. I was also ordered to do a sleep study (at home). The result of the sleep study - I am starting to have sleep apnea. Not severe enough for one of those breathing machines, but I have to monitor how tired I am during the day. I was asked to answer a questionnaire and to my surprise answered yes to most of them...not good.

I just need to know how often you get back pains as well as shoulder pains?   This is something that worries me so much. Like on top of not being able to catch a full breath, I am in pain in my back and left shoulder. 

I've been having the same problem for years and never understood what was wrong. I can remember the first time this happened to me I felt like I was having an asthma attack and I don't have asthma so I went to the ER and they gave me an inhaler which did help some. But here we are years later because I don't have asthma a doctor does not prescribe me an inhaler thankfully. I have found a cure that only takes between 10 and 30 minutes to give me relief. I know this cure may not be for everybody but for anybody willing to try it you may find relief with your breathing problem. When I start to feel the breathing problems start I take two aspirins and two iron pills thankfully this isn't a daily thing or even a weekly thing anymore the breathing problems have slowed down since I started doing this. It has gone from happening every other week to maybe happening twice a year. The iron I use is 65 mg and the aspirin is 325 mg. I wish you all the best in finding relief to your breathing problems and if you're not afraid of a little aspirin and a little iron pill I recommend trying what I use.

I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but I have been struggling with this too, especially in the morning, constant yawning and eyes watering, all day not getting a deep breath always taking deep load breathes. There are a few possibilities, first Anemia can do this, got checked and no. Vitamins n B 12 deficiency and there is B 12 Anemia, my B12 is low but I also found out I have Lyme disease with a co-infection called babesia and was told this is a number one symptom with babesia. Air hunger and along with other symptoms it could be babesia which causes low B 12 and other deficiencies 

Did you have any rib trauma in the past year?

I had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis as a teen, and the osteogenic material used in the fusion accidentally fused the ends of some of my ribs to each other/my spine. Normally I'm okay, but if something constricts my ribs from the front (like laying down with my laptop balanced on my chest or a particularly tight bra), I'll find myself yawning or needing to take as deep a breath as I can.

My excellent and experienced orthopod said that can happen when ribs cages can't fully expand with ease. He said it usually occurs when cracked or broken ribs heal incorrectly, but is common with my post-op complication.

So to repeat, have you in the past twoish years broken ribs/had a bad fall/messed up your shoulder? Because that can cause it.

I have had this condition steadily for a few weeks now and even spent a night in the hospital after running a smattering of tests to reveal nothing obvious wrong. After reading through all the posts on this subject here and scouring the internet, I finally came across something that could possibly be what is affecting me, Popcorn Lung or Bronchiolitis Obliterans.

I have taken up roasting my own coffee for about 3 years now and have found that the chemicals produced during this process

Continuation... The chemicals formed during this process are associated with the disease. Here is a snippet of that publication:

"But it turned out the processing of unflavored coffee can also cause bronchiolitis obliterans in workers exposed to the fumes, since both diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione naturally form and are released when coffee beans are roasted, as well as when they are ground, when the coffee is packaged, and when containers of roasted coffee are opened."

I have noticed over the past few years if there was too much smoke around while roasting coffee I would get a this breathing condition briefly. Moving outdoors and finally upgrading my equipment helped but just prior to my hospitalization I had roasted a batch and had this breathing issue throughout the evening even though I roasted outside. I am really wondering if this could really be the real cause to my condition. 

Any other coffee roasters out there?
