For the last 5 or so days I have had this overwhelming urge to yawn, and breathe really deeply. I'm yawning/sighing deeply every 10 or so seconds. It's making me light headed and my chest muscles and diaphragm are so sore!! I'm also getting palpitations and pain in the sides of my neck.
I've had it many times before and it's almost always when I'm very anxious. It carries on even when I've calmed down... like I'm sure this time is due to an interview I had on Tuesday, but I made it through and I'm happy now. I don't understand! I've mentioned it to my Dad but he said it was just a nervous tick and that I'm being a hypochondriac.
Do you think it's worth seeing my doctor? I feel like I'm going nuts!!
Thank you!

Do you feel breathless - as though you can't get enough air into your lungs or is it more a feeling that you are breathing faster than normal? Any pins and needles in your hands?
With the palpitations - does your heart race? Does it beat irregularly or does it feel as though there is an extra beat? Try tapping on the table every time your heart beats to see if the rythym is regular.
It is interesting that it happens when you are stressed or anxious. It could be a mild panic attack. Worrying about things will not help so the best thing to do is go and visit your GP. He/she will be in a better position to offer help and put your mind at rest.
Good luck.

With the information you have given, I would recommend calming your body down.
One thing that should be helpful with the yawning would be controlling your breath. Do not hold it or take long breaths frequently. If you hold it at a steady smooth rate, your body would not yawn that much. You yawn when your body is in need of oxygen. Often, when you are tired, you do not breath as well and that is why one yawns when they are tired.
Also, I would recommend drinking plenty water. If your body is trying to fight off some cold or something, the water gets used much quicker making your body weak, making you tired once again. And a hot shower with steam may help you relax and your chest to get soothed.
I hope this is of some help.

The thyroid gland is located on the front of the throat, decrease than the Adam’s apple. It contains 2 lobes that lie on the two facet of the windpipe, joined in front by utilising an isthmus. The thyroid gland secretes hormones to regulate many metabolic tactics, alongside with develop and power expenditure. Hypothyroidism ability the thyroid gland is underactive and fails to secrete sufficient hormones into the bloodstream. This motives the guy’s metabolism to decelerate.

I think it is worth seeing your doctor. you yawn to get more oxygen to your system and cells in your body and if you yawn that often then your body must see a need to get alot more oxygen to your cells.

yes. any time you have a sudden change like that, and it is uncontrollable, it could be serious. My sister has panic attacks that start like that. They have made her pass out.

You probably need to go and excercise or something.
Get physical.
Do something active.
