I still get affected by this every now and then. It's been 6+ years since I made this thread. Nobody knows anything, Like you said, It's not something you can schedule a doctor's visit around.
It's at least partly psychological for me. It's like the urge to yawn is the problem and the inability to finish the yawn is your body's way to telling you it doesn't need to yawn and doesn't aid you in the process.
I've decided it's not stress. I have little stress in my life when it occurs. When I am stressed it doesn't happen because I have other things on my mind and I don't give it any attention.
To answer your questions, I haven't noticed a relation to colds or sinuses. I have mild post nasal drip. There have been some thyroid problems in my family, I'm not sure on the details though and while I can't rule it out, it doesn't feel like the problem. I've lived in a pretty rural area that's mostly trees and farmland my whole life.
