Avatar m tn One of the side effects of this particular antidepressant fluoxetine is excessive yawning. Read the leaflet that comes with the medication and you will read it in the side effects section.
Avatar n tn That means that psychological stress factors and anxiety are causing you to hyperventilate (which you describe as the inability to take deep breaths, and the incessant urge to keep yawning). You think you are out of breath, and that you're nearly suffocating, and that only adds to the problem, and actually keeps you from attaining that "deep" fulfilling breath. The usual medication would be an antidepressant and an anti-anxiety medication, like Deanxit.
1672333 tn?1416694918 Hi Sweety. Yes, this can be common with anxiety. I just talked to your mom about your question. When we have anxiety we tend to take shallow breaths. What we need to do is try our best to take deep slow breaths. I'm betting that you're breathing shallow and this causes the yawning. Yawning will get oxygen in to your lungs. So will deep breathing so I recommend you start practicing every single day.
Avatar m tn There is a thread on this website under the Gastroenterology forum with lots of information. My 31 year old son has excessive yawning (and other symptoms) which his doctors did not take seriously. I began researching the causes and related problems. He has been diagnosed as having MVP and possibly dysautonomia. The vagus nerve regulates lots of this activity. Find out more about it. You may have more than just a sleep disorder.
1091910 tn?1274896683 Very important to do as Tamra suggested and get FT3 and FT4 tested in order to determine if thyroid is an issue. These are the biologically active thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and many other body functions. Also if you get testing done, keep in mind that just having FT3 and FT4 within the low limits is frequently not enough to alleviate symptoms. Symptoms are all important.
Avatar f tn These are linked with the eye symptoms. Maybe I hold my breath due to the discomfort, and and then I begin yawning.
Avatar n tn Choking episodes at night, hoarse voice, loss of voice and breath if yawning. Blood work revealed low Vit D and Calcium levels, told to up vit D and Calcium intake. Fibro meds include Voltarin, Flexeril, Celexa and HCTZ for BP. ENT visit is sched for upcoming Monday. Questions...will they do a FNA biopsy right then and there? Pain with that? CT results are as follows:1.1 x 1.0 cm heterogeneously enhancing nodule is present in the lower pole of the right thyroid lboe.
1200240 tn?1289339687 But the main subject of yawning, lately I have been yawning alot and my jaw was popping after opening it only about an inch and was really painful. The other day I yawned and it popped way worse then ever, then after that it wasnt as bad for some reason, but now it feels like I cant open my jaw as far as I used to. Just figured I would keep the thread going by sharing my experience....
1218873 tn?1300091216 L'Hermitte's sign? I guess that would be the case with pandiculation, not simple yawning. Pandiculation is a yawn with the "big stretch" - arms extended and back bending. I would also wonder if the pain after yawning might be metabolic. According to evolutionary biology, primates yawn when the CO2 level rises too high or the blood becomes acidic (respiratory or metabolic acidosis.) The yawn caused CO2 to be blown off and the blood pH to rise.
Avatar n tn I do have problems talking (longterm and at different ranges), with general swallowing, and yawning. Are these typical post-surgical symptoms that will go away in time or should I go back to the doc??
Avatar f tn It sort of comes and goes, it has peaked this way (but never this bad) in the past and every time I went for a check up they ruled out thyroid issues. I am Anaemic because I have had very heavy periods since the age of thirteen and haven't skipped a period in my life, I take iron supplements and try to eat iron rich foods where I can. Well I'm struggling with fatigue again and this time it's worse than I've ever experienced it.
Avatar f tn 12 years out of brain injury and I can say at least the last five I've experienced excessive yawning. Maybe longer than just the last five, I dunno, but at this point I can report that when I get tired I yawn uncontrollably.
Avatar n tn Over the past several weeks, I received dozens of e-mails about breathing difficulties and excessive yawning, and in a way, it’s strange that I would receive so many e-mails from people suffering with these problems, because I too once had the excessive yawning symptoms.In my case, I would feel like I could not get a deep enough breath, and consequently, would continue trying to you yawn and take in more and more air.
Avatar n tn Now she is experiencing excess yawning while on the field or court and afterwards, the yawning continues for hours accompanied by short gasps for breath that she seems unaware of. She is not tired. She feels as if she is unable to get enough air into her from a regular breath. Blood pressure is fine. No allergies, No asthma. No exercise induced asthma. All proven by medical tests. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Avatar f tn But they told me to take my regular sleep aide before I went to bed that night andthen was told it could have screwed up my REMS. I am always yawning and tired and have fallen asleep at the wheel a few times,and am a big afternoon napper, but over all I fair well staying awake. Could this still be Cataplexy and Narc? Or should I still lean towards another neuro diagnosis?
516040 tn?1213837018 Hi, this could be either tension headache, migraine or raised intracranial pressure. Best will be to try pain killers along with anti anxiety medication for at least one week, if no relief is seen, do consult neurologist for investigations like MRI etc. Eye fundus examinations can rule out raised intracranial pressure which is characterized by vomiting along with headache and blurred vision.
