What's happening to me? Often yawn and hard to breathe!

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Asthma can make it difficult to breathe all of the time, some of the time, or only when you excercise or have an allergic reaction. It's very irritating.

 

It's quite possible that what you have is asthma. Many asthmatics never have an "attack" at all (like me).

[Jok]

Looks like averyone on this forum have asthma. But I've never seen one in school or somewhere else. And why doesn't my aerosol help at all? Maybe I don't use it properly?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

What sort of aerosol is it?

[Jok]

Here is its description

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Ah, I see. I've had that before. It takes a few days before it really kicks in.

[Jok]

OK. I shall check it after.

[JustStuit]

Actually, more people than you think have asthma. Many have it very infrequently, some never see a doctor and tough it out, and many try to hide it or be discreet.

[Jok]

Do aerosols really help? And does it get better after using it a while?

[JustStuit]

They do work, atleast for most asthma/respitory patients. I'm not sure if it gets better over time but mine have become less and less frequent. It might just be growing out of it but I'm not sure. So aerosols are made to help over time so it should help.

It also seems I have a different type of asthma so I don't know how it will work in your situation.

[Jok]

I haven't typed anything for many weeks now. But I was waiting for this thing to work. But It's empty already and it didn't get any better. Perhaps I will really have to go to a respiratory specialist, but only in summer. I suspect that it's something with the thyroid gland after we studied this in Science class today.

[Jok]

Actually, I am almost 100% sure it is. And I hope itt can be cured as we read in the textbook. It says Iodine 131 can kill some of the overactive cells of the gland so that it wouldn't be overactive anymore. But Iodine is not the only possible treatment

Asthma is a fairly straightforward condition to treat, but asthnma patients can be a pain to treat because they don't take their medication properly. Asthmatics are amongst the worst compliers with treatment, because a short acting beta agonist (salbutamol or terbutaline) relieves symptoms quickly, but an inhaled corticosteroid has no immediately noticable effect. Anybody who uses a beta agonist regularly (i.e. more than a couple of times a day) should also be on inhaled corticosteroids, which must be used regularly. It is important to remember to wash your mouth out after using them to prevent oral thrush from occuring. It is also important to ensure that you can use your inhaler properly.

 

Hyperthyroidism can be treated in several ways. Drug treatment with either carbimazole or propylthiouracil is used in the short term (normally upto about a year) before either surgery or treatment with radioactive iodine. Antithyroid drugs can however cause blood dyscrasias. Also, treatment for an overactive thyoid can go to far and cause hypothyroidism, neccesitating treatment with levothyroxine

I have exactly the same thing as you. I consistantly make myself yawn just so that I can get a deep breath. When I get preoccupied with something, I forget about it for awhile but then later when I think about it, I have a hard time breathing. I try so much to get a deep breath that I get anxious and try more and more. Then I feel like I am hyperventilating and my arms and hands start to tingle. It comes and goes but mostly comes. It just started with me a few months ago. I went to the hospital. The doctor said my xrays of my lungs were clear and that it was probably just bronchial spasms. He then perscribed me the albuteral inhaler and a steroid pill. Well, neithe worked. Actually made it worse. The inhaler made my throat burn and I had bad spats of coughing and the steroids severly messed with my vision. So I still am stuck with this. I have researched the internet many times and the only thing I have come up with is that it is either VCD (vocal cord dysfunction) or a thyroid problem. I can not afford to go to the doctors. The united states is just way too much for someone with no medical insurance. Have you had any progress?

[CPL.Luke]

yawning is something the body does to suck in alot of air if its starting to run out, this can happen if the room is a bit stuffy (stuffy means the room doesn't have enough oxygen). I wouldn't be to concerned with it.

[blueydslm27]

I have researched other websites about this and I can not believe how many other people have this problem. But no one has an answer as to what it definately is. I yawn and yawn and yawn sometimes several times in a few minutes just to get a deep breath. I try so hard to breath that sometimes I cause pains in my chest from over extending my lungs too much. But most of the websites all say many different things it could be: asthma, hypertension, panic attacks, collapsed lung or partial collapse, anxiety, etc. etc. etc. Seems no one has yet to have a correct answer from a dr. I know that yawning is just a way to get extra air in my lungs but it is not something that I should not worry about. It is the reason that I am yawning is the problem. And yawning consistently to just try and breath and still can not get a deep breath is a major problem.

The first thing you should do is go to a doctor to help the breathing problem. When you are able to breathe normally you should try to remember if you ate a certain food or drank a lot of milk before you had the difficulty breathing. If you avoid the most common foods milk, peanuts , wheat ,shellfish and you don't have any breating difficulty you have found the cause. If you want to be sure of the allergy you may or may not have you can see a physician that specializes in allergys and get tested. You will not believe how much better you feel when you avoid what you are alleregic to. I have heard that some of us crave what we are allergic to.

I would hope that after nearly 3 years he`s got it sorted now
