<human>: So, since May I have had this breathing problem. (Note: I have never had asthma or anything like this before) What happens is that I get these yawns stuck in my throat, and I cant get them out-- and so my normal breathing becomes thin. This happens 3 or 4 times a minute depending on how long it takes to get the yawn out-- but when I get the yawn out-- another gets stuck. It is a horrible cycle. My regular doctor says that I just need to relax-- but it happens just as much when I am at my most relaxed state. Do you know what could be wrong?
<bot>: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It causes production of thick mucus from lungs. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal then no need to worry about bronchitis and this symptom. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
