La SOLUCIÓN: Bostezos excesivos y necesidad constante de respirar profundamente

Pecho y pulmones
21

Just  you think you figured it out, I come along and throw a monkey wrench in your gears. Lol!

I was slightly overweight, non-smoker but did drink about three units of alcohol per day. I also could've exercise more. Found out I had fatty liver and decided to do something about it. I quit drinking altogether, and began eating healthier. I ended up losing almost twenty lbs in 6 weeks, but then started getting this constant need to yawn urge. This started about a month ago, and is still here with me to this day. I also remember having this a couple of years ago, but not to this extent. But like many others on here regarding this, I am one of those who doesn't get it when I'm sleeping, I have had a hiatal hernia for over twenty years and have been on medication for it for as long. And so on and so forth. Anxiety? I've had lots of stress in my life being a school teacher, but in the last few years teaching has been a real treat, so if it's anxiety and it's not from teaching, then I have no idea from what? 

The only thing I can think of for myself is the fact that I turned my live upside down, like you did, but for me, it's what caused it.  

22

I'm so glad this has come up.  For the past couple of months I have had this problem. Yawning all the time and every so often feel the need to take a really deep breath in case I stop breathing altogether.   I am generally quite an anxious person and worry about a lot of things but have only had this problem since putting on weight.  I am heavier than I have ever been before since spending several months in the UK and eating lots of unhealthy things.  I am now trying to eat more healthily and exercise and hopefully this will cure the problem. 

23

I should have added that just reading about it made me more conscious of my breathing and made me feel nervous.  Obviously it is an anxiety thing. 

24

I run, I am a rock climber and acrobat, I meal plan and eat healthily and as a woman have 12% body fat. However, I have had this issue constantly for over 5 years. I thought it might be anxiety, but as a freelancer I get to wake up when I want, get plenty of sleep, don't have stress in my occupation as all my clients are very pleasant, and make good money so I don't worry about that either. I live in Southern California and spend almost all my free time outside doing active things and am very happily single at 24 years old. These are the only things I think may cause me to have this problem:

-I may have injured my lungs in a ski accident back in college when I sprained my neck and back, but I feel like I had this problem before that too.

-I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, but potentially besides this, it has not caused me problems since 10 years old.

-I had a few panic attacks over the summer, but those were my first ones ever

-I have dealt with depression since I was a child, but feel that I am pretty good at working through it and making sure to go out on a climbing trip or get outside as much as I can when I feel it coming on

-I have seen some areas of mold building in my apartment that I am worried about

I'm not trying to say that this information here won't help you, because it has clearly helped a lot of people, I just wanted to reach out and see if maybe any one else has a similar experience to me, where they've done everything right (at least I feel I have) and are kept up yawning at night and during the day because of the air hunger.

Today is one of my worse days, I've had two glasses of water, my B-12, Vitamin C, and iron supplements that I take every day, and a protein shake with Almond Milk instead of Milk so far and done yoga and stretching and am now sitting in my office doing work. It is 11:00 am.

Hola, llevo esto más de un año ahora todos los días. No puedo vivir así, es horrible. Todo empezó en una caminata, pensé que tenía un golpe de calor, sobrecalentamiento, el corazón me latía con fuerza en el pecho. Creo que sufrí algunos síntomas de calor, pero me pregunto si podría haber sido un ataque de pánico. Me recuperé de la respiración dificultosa y una semana después del día de mi incidente en la caminata, el problema respiratorio me golpeó con fuerza y nunca se fue. No lo entiendo, nunca he tenido ansiedad ni una gran preocupación en el mundo. ¿Cómo puede hacer que mis pulmones se sientan constreñidos? Acabo de unirme aquí por este hilo, me alegro mucho de no ser la única persona en la tierra que tiene esto y de que sea algo real. Necesito hablar con alguien que lo haya superado y cómo comenzó el suyo. Si hay mensajería aquí, por favor alguien mí envié un mensaje, ¡necesito a alguien que entienda! Gracias;

It makes me a little dizzy and frustrated. I'm so glad to find lots of people have this. It comes and goes. When I stop thinking about it, it subsides. Feels like an air bubble stuck and can't get out. Once everything relaxes and a deep sigh of relief, sometimes it happens several times. 

29

Anyone also experience back pain due to this constant need of taking a deep breath? 

30

Hi Guys,

I kind of forced myself on the treadmill some 5 weeks ago. Since that day, I have been breathing deeply, my heart beat is faster as well (105-110 bpm) and I have dry mouth, dry eyes and lower back pain. Got blood tests done and everything is fine. I drink at least 3 liters of water everyday.

Can someone help ??

31

Yea I feel the same thing from the morning I wake up to when I go to sleep I've pretty much told myself it's copd or something the doctors cant find because I've been to the ER SOOOOOO many times and my family doctor so I'm just gonna go with the flow if it kills me it kills me the Shortness of breath has me borderline bed ridden I don't know what would happen if I had to run I would surely run out of air it's debilitating but I'm not going back to a doctor for it if it's gonna kill me it can kill me

I’m 46 and have been living with the same problem since 1990

33

I am 36 years old and I been having this issue periodically the last 2 years.  It happened 2 years ago when I was a active smoker, I was smoking and felt issue breathing in.  So I decided to quit smoking thinking maybe it was a sign.  So decided to quit smoking.  A few months later I noticed the same issue, having a hard time taking that deep deep breath again.  I decided to just take a nap and woke up perfectly fine.  This would happen maybe every 6 months or more, where it would just require me to relax.  

​This last 3 weeks has been miserable for me.  I been having the same issue but this time it has been giving me anxiety.  I would try and take a deep inhale but unable to do so, continuing to try and do so and still unable to get that good deep breath.  Not until I begin to yawn I feel the comfort of that breath.  It has cause me anxiety the last 3 weeks, not the same person I use to be, I been a miserable wreck, a shell of myself because it has cause me anxiety.  I haven't been able to really sleep or have good sleep, I wake up with panics thinking I can't breath. 

Recently have had issues drinking water thinking I am going to suffocate, so now I am trying with a straw to help with my breathing, unable to sleep because I keep on thinking I can't breath.  I went to the doctors, did my blood work, took X-ray of my lung and heart and everything is good.  But yet I still struggle taking these deep inhaling breath.  Only time I get that really good satisfied breath is when I yawn.  I know this is not normal and I am glad I found a website to try and get some help but I really am hoping to find a remedy.  I just want to get back to normal.  I would typically breath in through my mouth and out my mouth, been trying to figure out better breathing techniques like breathing through my nose and out my mouth, but the satisfaction is not the same.  Any help, suggestions, would be greatly appreciate.

​​I've also tried acupuncture, Chinese herbalist.  I even had one doctor wanting to give me Zolof to relieve my anxiety and get my neuro levels back on.  

At one point I thought I was going to die and was going crazy.

I have suffered from this off and on for years. Hypnosis cured it for me. I have done hypnosis for this twice, and each time the problem went away for years. Now it's back, and I am arranging my third hypnosis session with a certified qualified hypnotist. You can also use a hypnotherapist but simple hypnotism will do. 

35

That's great to hear - I would be interested in trying that but I think even a certified qualified hypnotist would need to understand the nature of this issue to treat it.  Did this person assume these bouts of "not enough air" or frequent yawning were like mini-panic attacks and treated that way?  I think understanding how they perceived the problem would help ensure that one found a hypnotist that could address this.  Any additional information you could provide would be appreciated.  Thanks!

36

Yes I explained that it was anxiety based. Hypnotists are very good with anxiety-related issues. I liked the simple hypnosis better than hypnotherapy, which gets way more involved just like regular therapy. Hypnosis is good for a single issue thing like this. 

37

Hi Amy,

Thank you for your reply.  I have managed to also go to hypnotherapy.  It has helped me understand anxiety and these pairings that I have caused with breathing has caused.  It is slowly helping me.

y breathing issue is usually triggered when I have lack of sleep and panic due to not being able to sleep because of my anxiety.

Hola Rigena,

¿Has notado que los medicamentos han ayudado con tu falta de aire? 

Gracias smile

Hola, estoy teniendo el mismo problema. Es todos los días, y como dijo Steve, no ocurre cuando estoy dormida o cuando estoy concentrada en algo. En enero pasado, me diagnosticaron Malformación de Chiari. Sé que todos se están preguntando, "¿Qué es eso?". Búsquenlo en Google y les dará toda la información. He estado lidiando con dolores de cabeza todos los días desde julio del año pasado. Algunos días eran realmente intensos. ¡No se van! También tengo otros síntomas que vienen con esta rara condición. No hay cura para Chiari. De todos modos, hay una cirugía que se realiza para detener la progresión de los síntomas y para eliminar los intensos dolores de cabeza que están relacionados con la malformación. Incluso puede eliminar todos los síntomas, si tienes suerte, pero no está garantizado. Todos los que tienen Chiari son diferentes. Dependiendo de lo graves que sean tus síntomas determina si necesitas la cirugía o no. Bueno, yo tuve que hacerme la cirugía. Esperaba con ansias tenerla con la esperanza de deshacerme de los dolores de cabeza y los síntomas. Estoy a 3 meses de la operación y sigo teniendo dolores de cabeza y síntomas. Mi médico dijo que podría tomar hasta un año antes de que desaparezcan, si es que desaparecen. De todos modos, creo que es por eso que tengo ansiedad. ¿Cómo puedo deshacerme de mi ansiedad cuando no puedo curar mi condición? Tengo dolor crónico todos los días y todo lo que puedo hacer es rezar.
