hi fellow chest stretchers!! this is a old thread but Ive only just come across it via Google search "trouble yawning" Ive had this problem for a while now and find it really hard to explain to people even my doctor he just gave me inhalers they didn't help as the problem in the first place is not being able to take a deep breath it felt like a belt around my chest so my rib cage wouldn't expand and let my lungs fill up, its a real pain especially when I'm at the gym trying to yawn on a tread mill, i can see my reflection and i look like a crazy person running with his mouth wide open the more aware i am that I'm trying to yawn the harder it gets. i don't know about you but when I'm trying to yawn I'm constantly thinking "am i going to" and "come on almost" then i try hold it out for as long as possible then give up! I'm not sure if its stress as i don't really get stressed it just comes and goes (I'm doing it...............now) im not sure if my post has helped anyone but im just chuffed that other people know what im talking about does anybody have any tips on sorting it out?
