Can’t Yawn :(

[Jjude1003]

When my asthma flairs up I seem to get tight in my throat/trachea area and I get the urgency to yawn but can’t seem to make it happen. It’s maddening! Wondering if this is common. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?

Get it all the time, it’s going for that deep aveolar breath.

It reminds me of when I was first going out with my wife (some 35 years ago now). She used to wonder at why I was always yawning, but very politely never said anything. Meanwhile, I didn't even realise I was doing it. After a while, once she started to learn about asthma, she asked me if it was connected. I still don't know for sure, but I suspect that there is some odd connection between asthma & yawning.

I do have the opposite problem to you still though, in that I yawn all the time.
