Yawning to catch my breath.?!
Question: Yawning to catch my breath..?
I get this tight chest feeling, like I can't catch a full breath, and I would purposely yawn so it feels a little better. I feel like each breath I take was 2% more shallow than the last. This has been happening for like 4 months. What is happening.?

Answers:
Sounds like Asthma. Could be from smoking, job-related, or environment (change of location). Your breathing problem could be from living at a higher altitude (lower oxygen tension). I have allergies, and have similar problems but without the tight chest feeling. Go see your primary care physician, or a pulmonologist. They can give you a beta-2 agonist like albuterol and/or corticosteroids to help you breathe better.
