One of my (many) symptoms of anxiety is yawning. For a few days, I will have this shortness of breath, a constant need to yawn. I try to take deep breaths to relax. It usually takes a few days before this goes away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this?
I am currently on no medication to treat my anxiety. My doctor has in the past prescribed xanax and I am trying to avoid taking it. I really don't want to take medication. I am looking for alternative ways.
Thanks.

Im like you, dont want to do the meds and i get the yawning thing where it feels like you can't get enuff air in your lungs and keep having to yawn what has helped me is turning my hear to the left or right, for some reason i can get an extra bit of air in there and it helps. hope it helps you too.
