For the past 10 or so years, I have had the feeling like I needed to yawn but, when I try, I get half way through the yawn and then there is the sensation that my lungs will no longer expand to allow for completion of the yawn. I have been reading a lot of the posts concerning people who have the feeling of not being able to complete their yawn and I think I have come to a conclusion.
I have been to the cardiologists and have had blood tests, EKG, stress echos, cat-scans of my interior and exterior cardiovascular arteries, halter monitoring, and chest x-rays of the heart. The cardiologists had ruled out any heart problems.
I have been to the pulmonologist and have had chest x-rays of the lungs, cat-scans of the pulmonary arteries, a stress test, and a sleep study. There are no problems with my lungs.
I went to the gastroenterologist and was diagnosed with acid reflux.
Until now I never thought that the reflux was affecting me at all. I have none of the normal symptoms of GERD, no burning sensation, no feeling like my food is stuck in my throat. Therefor, I never took my prescription and allowed it to expire. However, after reading the messages on this site, I have found that a LOT of the people who have this problem also state that they have acid reflux. Of all the problems I have, not being able to yawn is the worse. It keeps you up at night. It frustrates you to the point of tears. I have decided to go back to my doctor and renew my GERD prescription. I think that anyone who has this problem should talk to their doctor about testing for acid reflux, I'm sure its the culprit.
