Hello,
I am trying to start to exercise again, so after work I decided to go for a walk, nothing strenuous. I noticed that I was yawning excessively and started to worry.
I have been yawning to catch a deep breath for about 4 months now and it is really annoying.
Anyone had this problem before?

I do this all the time!!! Since I got anxiety in 2011. Some days I'm good others I do it a lot when I'm anxious... Right now I'm getting anxious and so I keep trying to get a deep breath by yawning, it's making my chest/ribs sore :(

This happens to me all the time! I can`t remember when it started but its definitely been a while. Its very annoying and I notice it the most when I`m active (walking, etc) also.

Had it since my anxiety got out of control! We all do it from time to time obviously, but now it's ten fold

The yawning I do, tends to bother others more than myself :)

Well it's known that the reason we yawn is because your brain needs more oxygen... And when you're anxious breathing becomes more shallow. So I suspect it's just a way of your body getting more oxygen?

This is probably true..
.. And the hunger for air, or air hunger.. The urgency to get that deep breathe is also associated w bringing on a calm feeling.. So those of us who try and get that deep relaxing breathe are probably trying to calm down by doing so..
I have had this issue for a loooonnggg time.. But in recent years I do not.. Mostly bc I was obsessed w the belief that I was asthmatic, and that THAT was why I was always trying to find ways to get more air.. But then being in therapy, a yr in.. Talking about how people breathe and why etc.. Annnnddd I also had all kinds of medical tests done.
About a year into therapy and after tests, I FINALLY believed I wasn't asthmatic and that whole issue almost completely dropped out.. I was also on meds too ;)
