I have had this issue over the past 6 months or so (it has also occurred in the past) where sometimes when I try to yawn, I cannot yawn deep enough to "complete" the yawn. I can breathe fine. I can breath deeply enough to expand my chest. It is so annoying, and can easily make me want to jump out of my skin. I start to feel panicky, even though logically I know I can breathe fine. I have tried to explain this to other people and they look at me like I am crazy! Has anyone else experienced this?

OH Yes I have. It is frustrating beyond belief.

LOL, I had to yawn when I read the title of this thread, isn't it funny when we see the word or see someone else yawn that we immediately feel the need to yawn, I wonder why that is.

AngelLisa,

That is so funny. Of course I did too. It is a relief to know someone else understands!

Yawning is an automatic response to get more oxygen into our blood.

It's also a very suggestive word to some people. Just thinking the word can trigger a yawn for me.

Yes! This just happened to me last night...totally started to panic! But, I can breathe just fine. I also get weird diaphram hiccups sometimes too..it kind of feels like an involuntary breath. But that only happens when I'm falling asleep. Weird fibro symptoms!

I had been looking up some things recently that suggested some of Fibro muscle cramping is due to not enough oxygen getting to the muscles. I had been looking for stretches to help with this, but didn't connect it to the yawning. I yawn like this as well. Maybe it triggers it.

If it weren't for weird symptoms, would we have any? ;)
