I have had this ever since I was little - around 5 or so is the first time I remember it. It stands out for me because at the time when my dad caught me taking deep breaths and yawning, he yelled at me to "stop breathing like that!"
This is a difficulty getting enough air, having to take a deep breath to feel like I am, and sometimes yawning to increase the flow of the breath.
It was diagnosed many years ago as anxiety, but now everybody in my heath team tells me anxiety doesn't cause that. I've had a ton of tests - generally - my blood pressure is and always has been fine, all my heart blood work has been normal, I do occasionally have an irregular rhythm which seems to be associated with caffeine intake and anxiety, etc....
What I mostly want to know is if anyone else here ever experiences this?
