Just a warning........i have the problem with not getting the air to yawn as you all appear to do. BUT, I think some are taking this TOO lightly, or not getting the medical interventation they need to understamnd the root problem. I have been told this is COPD, not just some anxiety....Get it confirmed by your Dr.

high funny reading this i used to have the same problem all the time and used to make me panic i would strart THINKING about breathing and that was it. Dont let anyone say well dont think about it it does not help  . i read a great artical about how the body works and it said if you now right now hold your breath see how long you can do it... the body kicks in and makes you breath and the same will always happen. if you could not do it normaly the body would make you faint and then take control it self.
After that i felt a little better and what i do now is ALWAYS carry a tune sweet or a menthol sweet and if i feel like my breathing is becoming short i pop a sweet the kind that cleans your nose and chest like a cough sweet that way every breath i take is a sharp clean feeling breath, only trouble is my dentist is getting much better off. hope some of this makes sense as i do go on a bit

This is some info I found on not being able to get the air we want to breath
""A related possibility is that some of the tiny air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, don’t have enough air in them so they partially collapse, the lungs stiffen, and the yawning reflex is a signal from the brain to bring more air into the lungs to open these small sacs or alveoli again"

I experience more when I try to sleep and it keeps me up for hours

Please everyone let me repeat do not self diagnose yourself with anxiety. Please make sure you have yourself checked out.

Hi all,
I have the same horrible shortness of breath off and on all day. I always take deep breaths and yawn. It is obviously just another one of the fun, wonderful symptoms of this monster we call anxiety. I hope that you all feel better soon! Jason

I have been experiencing many of the symptoms that you all describe. I almost always feel like i need to take a deep full breath, and end up yawning alot. I have sometimes woken up at night feeling like I cannot take a deep breath. I find my posture can influence this... slouching makes it worse for me. It is almost always present when driving in a car too.
Taking a warm bath helps me cope, and if im busy, I dont feel it as much. About 1 year ago I started taking Ritalin for ADHD, it seems somehow related to my med. but has gotten worse in the last 3 months.

I am new into this, but finally diagnosed with panick attack sindrome and sever anxiety. Now i am on meds, zoloft and xanax when needed. I feel better , but have the same sensation as you do , with short of breath all day long and just can breath clearly when i yawn of force it very hard (not always reaching the perfect breath).
Is this normal into anxiety or i have a lung problem or breathing problem, cause i cant understands it lasts all day long.
Please will be glad if anyone can answer me.

Macaca

On this site that we are on there is a place where you can search subjects so I put the word breathing in the search area and then it asks how many days I put 365 days.
make sense I hope

Hi Trish & Lydia,
Trish thanks for the info, I thought it might be considered air hunger but wasn't sure. Sometimes it's a vicious cycle with me: I'll yawn until I get a deep breath then as soon as I do I start yawning to try & catch another deep breath. When I get like that I would say only about 1 in 10 yawns feels productive. Like I get the air that I need. Weird huh??
Lydia, I'm glad that it makes you feel better talking about it & knowing that youre not alone, it does with me as well. I haven't really noticed a feeling in my torso when this is going on but I'm so occupied with my breathing that I barely notice anything.
What were you referring to about a search with 365 days back on breathing??
Thanks,
Chanda

The breathing yet not feeling that gets enough air to capacity with the yawn effect is what doctor's refer to as "air hunger". I used to get it alot, kept on yawning till finally one would feel as I finally got enough in my lungs. All they kept telling me is it is the subtle hyperventilation syndrome we have, and just do the abdominal breathing techiques. Sometimes its hard.

Chanda,
Yes it seems that I feel that I need to yawn to get a good breathe and most of the time it makes me feel better. Girl it is amazing but on my lunch hour I felt so good walking around and I kept thinking it happens to you so I am ok and I was able to breathe fine.
How do you feel inside around your upper torso when you have that feeling?
Oh do a search with 365 days back on breathing I came up with some helpful info.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Lydia

Hi Lydia,
I get "shortness of breath" (as I call it) at any given time. Not usually on a daily basis, but it doesn't seem to matter if I'm anxious or not. I don't think that I ever really feel "relaxed" but even when I'm comfortable this happens. In fact, I would say that the majority of the time when it happens I'M NOT really anxious but the shortness of breath sometimes CAUSES the anxiety.
In some cases tho, this happens when I'm already anxious & on the verge of an attack & this only makes it worse!
Do you also feel like the only way you can get a deep breath is by yawning?? Also does it always work?? Like I said before even when I yawn I dont always get the deep breath that I'm trying to get & that is sometimes when I start to panic.
Chanda

Chanda,
How do you feel otherwise like do you have a anxious feeling as well? I am answering you but how I can help makes me wonder.
I have not mastered it myself yet. I decided to start writing down how I feel. During these times do you feel that something radically is wrong.
My husband says I can not relax, I can not remember but did you prviously write that it happens at all times either at rest or busy?
Lydia
