I constantly want to yawn or take a deep breath. Take a deep breath every minute or why do you always want to take a deep breath? Symptoms and methods of treatment of respiratory neurosis

If breathing becomes difficult, the problem may be due to disruptions in nerve regulation, muscle and bone injuries, or other abnormalities. This is the most common symptom of panic attacks and vegetative-vascular dystonia.

Why is it hard to breathe - the body’s reaction

In many cases, shortness of breath situations can be an indicator of serious illness. Therefore, one cannot ignore such a deviation and wait until the next attack passes in the hope that a new one will not happen again soon.

Almost always, if there is not enough air when inhaling, the reason lies in hypoxia - a drop in oxygen content in cells and tissues. It could also be due to hypoxemia, when oxygen drops in the blood itself.

Each of these deviations becomes the main factor why activation begins in the brain's respiratory center, heartbeat and breathing become more frequent. In this case, gas exchange in the blood with atmospheric air becomes more intense and oxygen starvation decreases.

Almost every person experiences a feeling of lack of oxygen while running or other physical activity, but if this happens even with a calm step or at rest, then the situation is serious. Any indicators such as changes in breathing rhythm, shortness of breath, duration of inhalation and exhalation should not be ignored.

Types of shortness of breath and other data on the disease

Dyspnea or non-medical language– shortness of breath is a disease that is accompanied by a feeling of lack of air. In the case of heart problems, the appearance of shortness of breath begins during physical exertion in the early stages, and if the situation gradually worsens without treatment, even in a relative state of rest.

This is especially evident in a horizontal position, which forces the patient to constantly sit.

Manifesting itself as attacks of severe shortness of breath most often at night, the deviation may be a manifestation of cardiac asthma. In this case, breathing becomes difficult and this is an indicator of inspiratory dyspnea. The expiratory type of shortness of breath is when, on the contrary, it is difficult to exhale air.

This happens due to a narrowing of the lumen in the small bronchi or in case of loss of elasticity in the lung tissues. Directly cerebral dyspnea manifests itself due to irritation of the respiratory center, which can occur as a result of tumors and hemorrhages.

Difficulty or rapid breathing

Depending on the frequency of respiratory contractions, there may be 2 types of shortness of breath:

The main criterion that shortness of breath is pathological is that it occurs under normal conditions and light loads, when it was previously absent.

Physiology of the respiratory process and why there may be problems

When it is difficult to breathe and there is not enough air, the reasons may be a disruption of complex processes at the physiological level. Oxygen enters our body, into the lungs and spreads to all cells thanks to surfactant.

This is a complex of various active substances (polysaccharides, proteins, phospholipids, etc.) lining the alveoli of the lungs. Responsible for ensuring that the lung bubbles do not stick together and oxygen freely enters the lungs.

The value of surfactant is very significant - with its help, the spread of air through the alveolar membrane is accelerated 50-100 times. That is, we can say that we can breathe thanks to surfactant.

The less surfactant, the more difficult it will be for the body to ensure normal respiratory processes.

Surfactant helps the lungs absorb and absorb oxygen, prevents the lung walls from sticking together, improves immunity, protects the epithelium and prevents edema. Therefore, if there is a constant feeling of oxygen starvation, it is quite possible that the body is unable to ensure healthy breathing due to failures in the production of surfactant.

Possible causes of the disease

Often a person may feel: “I’m suffocating, as if there’s a stone on my lungs.” In good health, this situation should not occur in a normal state of rest or in the case of light exertion. The reasons for lack of oxygen can be very diverse:

Despite such a large list of possible reasons why it may be difficult to breathe, surfactant is almost always at the root of the problem. If we consider from a physiological point of view, this is the fatty membrane of the inner walls of the alveoli.

The alveolus is a vesicular cavity in the lungs and is involved in the respiratory act. Thus, if everything is in order with the surfactant, any diseases on the lungs and breathing will be minimally reflected.

Therefore, if we see people in transport, pale and in a faint state, most likely it’s all about the surfactant. When a person notices: “I yawn too often,” it means the substance is not being produced correctly.

How to avoid problems with surfactant

It has already been noted that the basis of the surfactant is fats, of which it consists of almost 90%. The rest is completed by polysaccharides and proteins. The key function of fats in our body is precisely the synthesis of this substance.

Therefore, a common reason why problems with surfactant arise is following the fashion for a low-fat diet. People who have eliminated fats from their diet (which can be beneficial, and not just harmful), soon begin to suffer from hypoxia.

Unsaturated fats are healthy and are found in fish, nuts, olive and vegetable oils. Among plant products, avocado is an excellent product in this regard.

A lack of healthy fats in the diet leads to hypoxia, which subsequently develops into ischemic heart diseases, which are one of the most common causes of premature mortality. It is especially important for women to correctly formulate their diet during pregnancy, so that both she and the child produce all the necessary substances in the right quantities.

How to take care of your lungs and alveoli

Since we breathe through the lungs through the mouth, and oxygen enters the body only through the alveolar link, if you have breathing problems, you need to take care of the health of the respiratory system. You may also have to pay special attention to the heart, since if there is a lack of oxygen, various problems may begin with it that require prompt treatment.

In addition to eating right and including healthy fatty foods in your diet, there are other effective preventive measures you can take. A good way to improve your health is to visit salt rooms and caves. Now they can easily be found in almost any city.

The feeling of difficulty breathing is a frequent accompaniment of vegetative-vascular dystonia. Why do people with VSD sometimes cannot take a full breath? One common cause is hyperventilation syndrome.

This problem is not related to the lungs, heart or bronchi.

When there is not enough oxygen, the cause may well be disorders of the autonomic nervous system. Breathing is a process associated with the somatic nervous system. In this case, if it is difficult to inhale oxygen, we can talk about neuroses and psychological root causes.

In itself, difficulty in breathing caused by unpleasant impressions, stress and other nervous factors is not such a dangerous factor, but the risk lies in making an incorrect diagnosis with similar symptoms and prescribing incorrect treatment.

Prevention of shortness of breath and shortness of breath

If it sometimes becomes difficult to breathe and lead an active lifestyle, perhaps the reason is not a disease, but poor physical shape. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is start regularly doing active aerobic exercises, walking or running more, and going to the gym.

It is very important to monitor your diet, eat the right foods, do not overeat, but also do not skip meals. You need to get enough sleep at night. Giving up bad habits is the most important step towards good health.

Since feelings of fear or anger cause a feeling of heaviness in the chest and increase the production of adrenaline, you should try to avoid serious experiences. If you have severe panic attacks, you should definitely consult a doctor. The appearance of severe shortness of breath during stress can also be an indicator of the presence of vegetative-vascular dystonia.

Thus, in order to avoid health problems and difficulty breathing, you need to monitor your diet (eat enough proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins for your age and weight), and lead a healthy lifestyle. If you have persistent unpleasant symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor, as more serious diseases may be present, accompanied by difficulty breathing.

When it is difficult to take a full breath, a suspicion of lung pathology first arises. But such a symptom may indicate a complicated course of osteochondrosis. Therefore, if you have breathing problems, you should consult a doctor.

Causes of difficulty breathing in osteochondrosis

Shortness of breath and the inability to take a full breath are characteristic signs of cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis. Pathology in the spine occurs for various reasons. But most often the development of degenerative processes is provoked by: a sedentary lifestyle, work associated with increased stress on the back, and poor posture. The impact of these factors over many years has a negative impact on the condition of the intervertebral discs: they become less elastic and durable (the vertebrae shift towards the paravertebral structures).

If osteochondrosis progresses, bone tissue is involved in destructive processes (osteophytes appear on the vertebrae), muscles and ligaments. Over time, a protrusion or herniation of the disc forms. When the pathology is localized in the cervical spine, the nerve roots and the vertebral artery are compressed (through which blood and oxygen flow to the brain): pain in the neck, a feeling of lack of air, and tachycardia appear.

When intervertebral discs are destroyed and vertebrae are displaced in the thoracic spine, the structure of the chest changes, the phrenic nerve is irritated, and the roots that are responsible for the innervation of the organs of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are pinched. The external manifestation of such processes is pain, which intensifies when trying to take a deep breath, and disruption of the functioning of the lungs and heart.

Pinching of blood vessels located in the cervical and thoracic spine is one of the reasons for the development of true pathologies of the heart and lungs, memory problems, and death of brain cells. Therefore, if you experience breathing difficulties, do not hesitate to visit a doctor.

Features of the manifestation of osteochondrosis

The clinical manifestations of cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis are different. In the first stages of development, it can be asymptomatic. Shortness of breath and chest pain when breathing deeply occur as the disease progresses. Shortness of breath can be bothersome both during the day and at night. During sleep, it is accompanied by snoring. The patient's sleep becomes interrupted, as a result of which he wakes up tired and overwhelmed.

In addition to respiratory disorders, with osteochondrosis the following appear:

Often, such signs of osteochondrosis are perceived as a pathology of the lungs or heart. However, true disturbances in the functioning of these systems can be distinguished from spinal disease by the presence of other symptoms.

Cause of difficulty breathing		Signs not typical for cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis
Lung diseases	Bronchitis, pneumonia	Sputum with blood or pus, excessive sweating, high temperature (not always), wheezing, whistling in the lungs
Lung diseases	Tuberculosis	Hemoptysis, pulmonary hemorrhage, weight loss, low-grade fever, increased fatigue in the afternoon
Pathologies of the cardiovascular system	Angina pectoris	Pale face, cold sweat. Breathing is restored after rest and taking heart medications
Pathologies of the cardiovascular system	Pulmonary embolism	Fall in blood pressure, bluish skin of parts of the body located above the waist, increased body temperature
Malignant formations in the chest organs	Tumor of the lung or bronchi, pleura, myxedema of the heart muscle	Sudden weight loss, high fever, enlarged axillary lymph nodes

It’s difficult to understand on your own why you can’t take a deep breath. But at home you can do the following:

take a sitting position, hold your breath for 40 seconds;
try to blow out the candle at a distance of 80 cm.

If the tests fail, this indicates a problem with the respiratory system. To make an accurate diagnosis, you must consult a doctor.

Difficulty breathing during sleep can cause suffocation. Therefore, when shortness of breath or a feeling of insufficient inhalation occurs, it is important to identify the cause of this phenomenon as soon as possible and begin treatment.

Breathing problems: diagnosis, treatment

Only a doctor can find out why it is difficult to take a full breath after the patient has undergone a comprehensive examination. It includes:

Chest examination. Prescribed:

Ultrasound of the heart;
electromyography;
fluorography of the lungs.

Spine diagnostics. It includes:

radiography;
contrasting discography;
myelography;
computer or magnetic resonance imaging.

If during the examination no serious pathologies of the internal organs were revealed, but signs of osteochondrosis were found, the spine needs to be treated. Therapy should be comprehensive and include drug and non-drug treatment.

During drug therapy the following is prescribed:

Painkillers and vasodilators. The principle of their operation:

accelerate the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and tissues of the affected spine;
reduce vascular spasms and pain;
improve metabolism.

Chondroprotectors– accepted in order to:

restore the elasticity of intervertebral discs;
prevent further destruction of cartilage tissue.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Effect of use:

pain decreases;
inflammation and swelling of tissues in the place of compression of blood vessels and spinal cord roots disappears;

Muscle relaxants– help:

relieve muscle tension;
restore motor function of the spine.

Additionally, vitamins are prescribed. In difficult situations, it is recommended to wear a Shants collar: it supports the neck, thereby reducing pressure on the roots and blood vessels (the feeling of lack of air does not occur so often).

An integral part of complex treatment of the spine is the use of auxiliary treatment procedures. The main goals of such therapy:

reduce the severity of pain;
strengthen the muscle corset;
eliminate breathing problems;
stimulate metabolic processes in affected tissues;
prevent exacerbation of pain.

Non-drug treatment of osteochondrosis includes:

acupuncture – improves blood flow, blocks pathological impulses of the peripheral nervous system;
electrophoresis - relaxes muscles, dilates blood vessels, has a calming effect;
magnetotherapy. It helps improve cerebral circulation, saturate the myocardium with oxygen (the activity of the chest organs is normalized, shortness of breath disappears);
Exercise therapy and breathing exercises. The effect of the exercises: the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are strengthened;
massage – accelerates the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain and chest organs, relaxes muscles, and normalizes metabolism.

Constant lack of air with osteochondrosis can lead to the development of bronchial asthma and inflammation of the heart muscle. In severe cases, pathology of the cervical or thoracic spine causes complete loss of respiratory functions, disability and even death. Therefore, after confirming the diagnosis, you must immediately begin taking therapeutic measures.

If treatment recommendations are followed, the prognosis for recovery is favorable. Exceptions are made in cases of delayed consultation with a doctor: when a prolonged lack of air has led to irreversible changes in the tissues of the brain.

To prevent the occurrence of shortness of breath in osteochondrosis and exacerbation of the disease, it is recommended:

Exercise regularly.
Be in the fresh air as often as possible: this will reduce the likelihood of hypoxia.
Eat properly.
Quit smoking and minimize alcohol consumption.
Watch your posture.
Running, swimming, roller skating and skiing.
Do inhalations with essential oils and citrus fruits (if you are not allergic to fruits).
Have a full rest.
Change the soft bed to an orthopedic one.
Avoid excessive stress on the spine.
Strengthen the immune system with folk remedies or medications (as recommended by a doctor).

Lack of air, shortness of breath, pain when taking a deep breath - may be signs of heart and respiratory diseases or a manifestation of complicated osteochondrosis. To prevent health and life-threatening consequences, you must consult a doctor: he will identify the cause of the respiratory system dysfunction and select the correct treatment.

Such a simple reflex as yawning has not yet been fully explained by scientists. However, there are many theories about why people yawn. Moreover, this process is often the first signal about the presence or development of various internal diseases, exacerbations and relapses of chronic pathologies.

Why do you want to yawn?

The main guesses are as follows.

This is the phase in which the so-called migraine headaches appear. He warns that the next stage is a headache. This can last from several hours to several days. Prodromal symptoms may vary from patient to patient, and this is true. most common.

“food” - we have a terrible desire for concrete, often in migraines, not recommended, for example, chocolate, or vice versa - loss of appetite. ~tired, tired, feeling tired, often. yawning, drowsiness, or vice versa - energy consumption has increased. activity, euphoria.

Calming effect

It has been noticed that people often yawn on the eve of any exciting events: competitions, exams, performances. In this way, the body independently adjusts to a favorable result.

Restoring carbon dioxide balance

There is an opinion that during yawning the supply of oxygen in the blood is replenished, but experiments have shown that even with its deficiency, the frequency of the reflex in question does not increase.

Mood changes - there may be a feeling of cholera. or depression, irritability, anger, anger, etc. ~ Concentration disorders, difficulty formulating the mind. memory impairment. ~ increased sensitivity to light, smell, sound, touch, taste.

The aura is called various disorders, hallucinations. They are primarily visual, but they can also be olfactory. and others. The most common visual disturbances are: ~ flashes, zigzags, waves in the field of view - bright or dark spots, moving or stationary in the field of view. Partial or complete loss of vision in one or both eyes. ~ hallucinations, such as waving objects in reality. Blurred, blurry image.

Regulation of pressure in the middle ear

During a yawn, the Eustachian tubes and canals of the maxillary sinuses straighten, which relieves short-term ear congestion.

Awakening the body

Yawning in the morning gives you energy, helps saturate the blood with oxygen, helps you wake up, and improves blood circulation. The same factors provoke yawning when tired and fatigued.

Aroma disturbances: ~ the smell of cigarettes that do not contain cigarette smoke. no one smoked. Hearing disorders: noise, ringing in the ears, hearing sounds that actually exist. we have no music at the moment, car noise, conversation. Most often on the side of spinal paralysis, usually the claws covering the face and tongue or only. certain parts of the body - difficulty in formulating words and their pronunciation. ~ difficulty understanding what we are talking about. ~ Increased sensitivity to the sensation of touch. ~ hearing loss or complete loss. “locomotive” disorders, such as dropping objects, difficulty walking, immobility ~ impaired sense of time.

Keeping active

It has been noted more than once that the described reflex occurs when a person is bored. Prolonged muscular passivity and mental overload lead to people falling asleep. Yawning helps get rid of this sensation, since in the process the muscles of the neck, face, and mouth tense.

Regulation of brain temperature

Migraine aura occurs in approximately 20% of all migraines. The most common is migraine without aura - 70%. The rest are different forms, such as migraine without headache, migraine. abdominal and others. The bolt phase, as the name suggests, is when we start. feel the pain until it is eliminated. The pain is most often located in the head. In rare cases, the pin may not be in the abdominal cavity or, for example, in the ear and ear area. Again, the most common pain is in the head and precisely in the temple area, usually on one side.

Other types of pain may be: irritation of the eyes, on the tip of the head. in the vicinity of the occipital region, in the sinuses, on the sides or throughout the head. At this point the pain starts to get worse and finally stops. ~ pain in the head, neck, neck area ~ feeling like we have bruises on the head. depression, decreased concentration, mental "stupid" ~ reduced ability to feel ~ anxiety ~ or vice versa, flow of energy, joy of life, euphoria.

There is an assumption that when the body overheats, it is necessary to cool the brain tissue by enriching the blood with air. The process of yawning contributes to this mechanism.

Relaxation

The reflex in question is also universal, because in the morning it helps to cheer up and before bed - to relax. Yawning prepares a person for a restful sleep and relieves stress.

The postdromal phase, such as the prodromal phase, can last from several. from several hours to several days. Be careful at this stage because sometimes it goes too fast. Taking or increasing activity may cause a second headache.

As you can see from the above, migraines have many different symptoms. Some may recur in different phases. Not every migraineur experiences them all or like others. In each phase of a migraine there may be other symptoms that may occur. not mentioned here.

Is excessive narcolepsy experienced during the daytime? What are the symptoms and causes of narcolepsy? Sleeping on a date or chatting with your boss seems unlikely, but it is possible. The day after an unhappy or bad dream, each of us is faced with a dream. It's not easy for us to wake up and yawn early in the morning. But there are those who struggle with sleepiness throughout their lives. Although they get out of bed energized and rested, they cut off their naps. What causes drowsiness?

Why does a person yawn very often and a lot?

If this phenomenon occurs to you infrequently, perhaps you are simply overtired, exposed to stress and anxiety, and do not get enough sleep. But periodic repetition should cause concern and be a reason to visit a doctor.

This is why you always want to yawn:

As you can see, the causes of frequent yawning are quite serious and this reflex may indicate a number of serious diseases. Therefore, if you notice a recurrence of this phenomenon, do not delay your visit to the therapist and be sure to undergo an examination.

Daytime sleepiness can be caused by insomnia, fatigue, too little sunlight during the November or December days, or low blood pressure. It is also a sign of a disease such as hypothyroidism. But we can control this drowsiness. We can take a nap during a boring meeting, lecture or movie, but not on a date, while discussing a new project or talking with the boss. And those who suffer from narcolepsy happen. If they have a moderate form of the disease, it goes unrecognized, and the environment is considered sleepy, indulgent, irresponsible people.

Why does a person yawn when someone else yawns?

Probably everyone has noticed how contagious yawning is. As a rule, if someone nearby yawns, those around them will sooner or later also succumb to this reflex.

In the course of interesting medical experiments and psychological studies, scientists have finally figured out why people yawn after each other. To do this, the subjects were connected to a special device that reflected the activity of various brain zones in the color spectrum. It turns out that during the described process, the area of the brain that is responsible for empathy and compassion is activated. Thus, we can conclude that a person who yawns when someone else yawns next to him is a subtle and vulnerable, responsive person. This statement is confirmed by the fact that people with autistic syndrome are not susceptible to this condition.

What are the causes of narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a neurological disease. It can affect us at every stage of life, but its symptoms most often appear in the second decade of life, which is when we are studying and starting a career. It is caused by a deficiency of hypocretin, a protein that plays an important role in regulating the daily sleep-wake cycle. Reduced production of this protein occurs due to damage to the hypothalamus, a part of the brain, which is likely due to an abnormal immune response.

Characteristic symptoms of narcolepsy

This depends on the extent of damage to the cells that produce hypocretin. The first, and sometimes the only symptom of narcolepsy is sleepiness during the day, but a special one. A person suffering from narcolepsy falls asleep in a very short time and, moreover, in situations where we are active. Can sleep in standby mode, during a conversation, on a bike, at a gala dinner. Drowsiness occurs approximately 1.5 hours after waking up and disappears after a short nap. Unfortunately, after a while he returns.

Have you ever wondered why it happens that you yawn a lot? This article is an attempt to explain what is happening and give you an idea of where frequent yawning comes from. Interestingly, frequent yawning is our body’s involuntary response to fatigue, as well as boredom. When you yawn, your mouth opens wide and your lungs fill with air. A yawn can be short or long, sometimes tears appear along with a yawn, and sometimes a runny nose. Yawning is normal, but it happens that a person yawns too often. Below you will find explanations of the reasons for frequent yawning.

The other three symptoms of narcolepsy are less common: cataplexy, sleep hallucinations, sleep paralysis. In mild narcolepsy, only the facial muscles are thirsty. When severely damaged, the hypothalamus softens to the ground. Another symptom is sleep hallucinations. Immediately into the world are very realistic dream dreams, and that they are not completely dreamy, treat them like a dream. Sleeping hallucinations are unpleasant and disturbing.

Physiological causes of frequent yawning

Physiological causes of frequent yawning include:

fatigue or drowsiness;
changes related to sleep patterns: changes in work schedule, sleep deficiency, travel associated with crossing several time zones;
a disorder such as narcolepsy, which can lead to daytime sleepiness;
sleep apnea is a disorder that restricts breathing for short periods of time;
side effects from medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are used to treat depression and anxiety;
problems with the functioning of the vagus nerve, which can be caused by bleeding in or around the aorta, or in severe cases due to a heart attack.

In some cases, frequent or excessive yawning may be an indicator of:

Maybe he doesn't know about narcolepsy. It's the middle of the day and what you want most is to lie down in bed and sleep?

The last symptom is paralysis, which lasts a few, a few seconds, which occurs when falling asleep or waking up. Capalexia and sleep hallucinations are treated with antidepressants, and drowsiness is a stimulant that prevents snoring during the day. Thanks to them, patients remain active throughout the day. The milder form of narcolepsy is most often unrecognized and therefore untreated. Perhaps we should be more tolerant of people who fall asleep at their desks during the day, taking short naps during their lunch break or immediately after returning from work.

epilepsy;
stroke or brain tumor;
liver failure;
cardiovascular disease;
chronic venous insufficiency;
electrolyte imbalance;
an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's thyroiditis (leads to hypothyroidism and low thyroid hormone levels);
hypothyroidism;
multiple sclerosis.

Psychological and Emotional Causes of Excessive Yawning

Excessive yawning can be caused by emotional or psychological reasons. These include:

stress,
depression,
anxiety.

Yawning can occur when a person feels restless or has anxiety attacks. Typically, during such episodes, the body requires hyperventilation, which causes bouts of yawning. Hyperventilation makes you feel as if there is not enough air to breathe, in response, the body sends a command to the brain to do what it needs to do to get more oxygen, which is how involuntary excessive yawning occurs. Through this process, the brain tries to saturate the lungs with oxygen.

Serious and life-threatening causes of excessive yawning

Excessive yawning can sometimes be a sign that a person's condition is life-threatening. Such symptoms should be considered an emergency. This happens with a sudden deterioration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as in chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

What to do to control yawning

Here are some tips on what you can do to control yawning and avoid excessive yawning.

Get enough sleep

The advice is quite obvious. However, when a person gets enough sleep, they are better rested and can therefore control yawning. If you don't get enough sleep, you will yawn because you won't be able to overcome your drowsiness.

Try to control yawning like this:

inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth;
when you realize you're about to yawn, try drinking a cool or chilled drink (if you have one on hand);
Eat vegetables with high water content, such as cucumbers or watermelon, to avoid excessive yawning.
if you feel like yawning, go to a cool place or thoroughly ventilate the room to lower the temperature and add oxygen to the room;
If you have an important meeting ahead, during which you should never yawn, put a damp compress on your head for a few minutes before going to such a meeting. This measure will prevent yawning until you finish your negotiations.

How to Treat Excessive Yawning

If medications such as SSRIs are determined to be the cause of your frequent yawning, your doctor may prescribe lower doses of them. Research shows that lowering the dosage can eliminate excessive yawning while leaving the desired effects of these medications intact. In any case, the doctor must decide.

If you have a sleep disorder that has caused you to yawn excessively, your doctor can advise you on what medications to take to improve your sleep and what methods to use to sleep better. One example of such conditions that cause excessive yawning is sleep apnea, which is associated with constant pressure in the airways. This means you will need to normalize your breathing and keep your airways open.

If you have other medical conditions that cause frequent yawning, such as tumors, kidney failure, liver or heart problems, or stroke, you should consult your doctor immediately.

When to see a doctor if you yawn frequently

It makes sense to consult a doctor with a complaint of frequent yawning if:

there is no explanation why you yawn often,
your frequent yawning is associated with daytime sleepiness.

I had a similar problem. Only I really wanted to yawn and I yawned. Just like crazy, every minute I yawned, yawned, yawned. And the yawning was kind of half-hearted; I couldn’t take a deep breath. My grandmother told me that this means heart problems. I checked with a doctor, they did a cardiogram, measured my pulse, etc. procedures, but found nothing. Then it went away by itself, it didn’t last long - a few days. This happens to me now when I get really nervous. Apparently, there is some kind of connection with the heart. I advise you to also see a doctor, maybe a therapist, he will refer you to the right doctor. Well, be less nervous, because it’s true that all diseases are caused by nerves. I wish a speedy recovery!

I always want to take a deep breath

noticed deterioration under stress, anxiety

I recently had the same exacerbation as you

This state infuriated me

I'm like a fish out of water

I seem to be inhaling air, but in the area of the heart and chest, as if something is missing

I thought I was the only one!

What did you treat with - nothing

somehow it went away on its own, sometimes I could drink valerian, motherwort, everything

Well, I also started drinking Novopassit. I hope it improves in a couple of days. Yes, that’s the rub, now I’m not worried at all (I think so). Although it turns out that I’m worried

Why there is not enough air when breathing and yawning begins

Dangerous symptoms

Sometimes difficulty breathing occurs for physiological reasons, which are quite easily remedied. But if you constantly feel like yawning and taking deep breaths, this could be a symptom of a serious illness. It’s even worse when, against this background, shortness of breath (dyspnea) often occurs, appearing even with minimal physical exertion. This is already a reason to worry and see a doctor.

You should go to the hospital immediately if difficulty breathing is accompanied by:

These symptoms usually clearly signal pathologies in the body, which need to be identified and eliminated as soon as possible.

Causes of lack of air

All the reasons why a person may go to the doctor with the complaint: “I can’t breathe fully and I’m constantly yawning” can be roughly divided into psychological, physiological and pathological. Conditionally - because everything in our body is closely interconnected, and the failure of one system entails disruption of the normal functioning of other organs.

Thus, prolonged stress, which is attributed to psychological reasons, can provoke hormonal imbalance and cardiovascular problems.

Physiological

The most harmless are physiological reasons that can cause difficulty breathing:

Lack of oxygen. It is strongly felt in the mountains, where the air is thin. So if you've recently changed your geographic location and are now significantly above sea level, it's normal to find it difficult to breathe at first. Well, ventilate the apartment more often.
Stuffy room. Two factors play a role here - a lack of oxygen and an excess of carbon dioxide, especially if there are many people in the room.
Tight clothes. Many people don’t even think about it, but in pursuit of beauty, sacrificing convenience, they deprive themselves of a significant portion of oxygen. Clothes that strongly compress the chest and diaphragm are especially dangerous: corsets, tight bras, tight bodysuits.
Poor physical shape. Lack of air and shortness of breath at the slightest exertion are experienced by those who lead a sedentary lifestyle or have spent a lot of time in bed due to illness.
Overweight. It causes a whole bunch of problems, in which yawning and shortness of breath are not the most serious. But be careful - if you significantly exceed normal weight, heart pathologies quickly develop.

It is difficult to breathe in the heat, especially if you are severely dehydrated. The blood becomes thicker, and it is harder for the heart to push it through the vessels. As a result, the body does not receive enough oxygen. The person begins to yawn and try to breathe deeper.

Medical

Shortness of breath, yawning and a regularly felt lack of air can cause serious illnesses. Moreover, often these signs are the first symptoms that allow diagnosing the disease at an early stage.

Therefore, if you constantly have difficulty breathing, be sure to go to the doctor. The most common possible diagnoses are:

VSD – vegetative-vascular dystonia. This disease is the scourge of our time, and it is usually triggered by severe or chronic nervous overstrain. A person feels constant anxiety, fears, panic attacks develop, and fear of enclosed spaces arises. Difficulty breathing and yawning are warning signs of such attacks.
Anemia. Acute iron deficiency in the body. It is necessary to carry oxygen. When there is not enough of it, even with normal breathing it seems that there is not enough air. The person begins to constantly yawn and take deep breaths.
Bronchopulmonary diseases: bronchial asthma, pleurisy, pneumonia, acute and chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis. All of them, in one way or another, lead to the fact that it becomes almost impossible to take a full breath.
Respiratory diseases, acute and chronic. Due to swelling and drying of the mucous membranes of the nose and larynx, it becomes difficult to breathe. Often the nose and throat are clogged with mucus. When yawning, the larynx opens as much as possible, so when we have the flu and ARVI, we not only cough, but also yawn.
Heart diseases: ischemia, acute heart failure, cardiac asthma. They are difficult to diagnose early. Often shortness of breath, coupled with difficulty breathing and chest pain, is a sign of a heart attack. If this condition occurs suddenly, it is better to immediately call an ambulance.
Pulmonary thromboembolism. People suffering from thrombophlebitis are at serious risk. A detached blood clot can block the pulmonary artery and cause part of the lung to die. But at first it becomes difficult to breathe, there is constant yawning and a feeling of acute lack of air.

As you can see, most diseases are not just serious - they pose a threat to the patient’s life. Therefore, if you often feel short of breath, then it is better not to delay your visit to the doctor.

Psychogenic

And again, we cannot help but recall stress, which is one of the main causes of the development of many diseases today.

Yawning under stress is an unconditioned reflex inherent in us by nature. If you observe animals, you will notice that when they are nervous, they yawn constantly. And in this sense, we are no different from them.

When stressed, a spasm of the capillaries occurs, and the heart begins to beat faster due to the release of adrenaline. Because of this, blood pressure increases. In this case, taking a deep breath and yawning perform a compensatory function and protect the brain from destruction.

When you are very frightened, there is often a muscle spasm, which makes it impossible to take a full breath. It’s not for nothing that the expression “takes your breath away” exists.

What to do

If you find yourself in a situation where frequent yawning and shortness of breath occur, do not try to panic - this will only worsen the problem. The first thing you need to do is to provide an additional flow of oxygen: open a window or vent, if possible, go outside.

Try to loosen as much as possible the clothing that prevents you from fully inhaling: take off your tie, unbutton your collar, corset or bra. To avoid dizziness, it is better to take a sitting or lying position. Now you need to take a very deep breath through your nose and an extended exhalation through your mouth.

After several such breaths, the condition usually improves noticeably. If this does not happen, and the dangerous symptoms listed above are added to the lack of air, call an ambulance immediately.

Before medical professionals arrive, do not take medications on your own if they are not prescribed by your doctor - they can distort the clinical picture and make it difficult to make a diagnosis.

Diagnostics

Emergency doctors usually quickly determine the cause of sudden difficulty breathing and the need for hospitalization. If there are no serious concerns, and the attack is caused by physiological reasons or severe stress and does not recur, then you can sleep peacefully.

But if you suspect heart or lung disease, it is better to undergo an examination, which may include:

What types of research are needed in your case will be determined by your doctor during your initial examination.

If lack of air and constant yawning are caused by stress, then you may need to consult a psychologist or neurologist, who will tell you how to relieve nervous tension or prescribe medications: sedatives or antidepressants.

Treatment and prevention

When a patient comes to the doctor with the complaint: “I can’t breathe completely, I’m yawning, what should I do?”, the doctor first of all collects a detailed medical history. This allows us to exclude physiological causes of oxygen deficiency.

In the case of overweight, treatment is obvious - the patient should be referred to a nutritionist. Without controlled weight loss, the problem cannot be solved.

If the examination results reveal acute or chronic diseases of the heart or respiratory tract, treatment is prescribed according to the protocol. This requires taking medications and possibly physiotherapeutic procedures.

A good prevention and even a method of treatment is breathing exercises. But in case of bronchopulmonary diseases, it can only be done with the permission of the attending physician. Incorrectly selected or performed exercises in this case can provoke a severe coughing attack and a deterioration in the general condition.

It is very important to keep yourself in good physical shape. Even with heart disease, there are special sets of exercises that help you recover faster and return to a normal lifestyle. Aerobic exercise is especially beneficial - it trains the heart and develops the lungs.

Active outdoor games (badminton, tennis, basketball, etc.), cycling, walking at a fast pace, swimming will not only help get rid of shortness of breath and provide an additional flow of oxygen, but will also tighten your muscles, making you slimmer. And then, even high in the mountains, you will feel great and enjoy the journey, and not suffer from constant shortness of breath and yawning.

I feel like I don’t have enough air, I periodically want to take a deep breath, sometimes I yawn, what is it? It's already the third day.

It seems to me that you need to breathe more oxygen. it’s just that when a person yawns, it’s because there is little oxygen in his body and his brain gets tired

You need to be in nature, play sports there, and master pranayama, which allows you to consciously influence tissue respiration (the penetration of oxygen from the blood into the tissues).

For the vast majority of people, breathing occurs automatically. Yogis consciously control their breathing and maintain a certain duration of inhalation and exhalation during practice.

Full breathing consists of three elements. Mastering pranayama begins with them.

1. Diaphragmatic (or lower) breathing.

Sit or stand straight so that your head and spine are in the same vertical line.

Inhale through your nose. At the same time, the stomach protrudes. Then exhale while simultaneously drawing in your stomach.

By placing your hands on your stomach, you can control the movement of the abdominal wall. Perform 57 inhalations and exhalations. With this type of breathing, air fills the lower lobes of the lungs as much as possible. This is important for patients with residual effects of the inflammatory process in the lungs, in which their lower lobes are poorly ventilated.

2. Chest (or middle) breathing.

While sitting or standing, inhale through your nose. At the same time, the shoulders and stomach remain motionless, and the chest expands. Air enters predominantly into the middle part of the lungs. As you exhale through your nose, lower your ribs. Take 57 breaths.

3. Clavicular (or upper) breathing.

While sitting or standing, inhale through your nose so that the stomach and chest remain motionless, and only the upper part of the chest rises in the area of the collarbones. With this type of breathing, air fills only the tops of the lungs. Exhaling through your nose, lower your shoulders. Repeat 57 times.

Having mastered the three types of breathing, you can move on to learning full breathing. Full breathing is sequential diaphragmatic, chest and clavicular breathing.

You should breathe easily and naturally. First, the stomach protrudes slightly (the lower lobes of the lungs are filled), then the chest expands (the middle lobes of the lungs are filled), the shoulders rise, air enters the tops of the lungs. All three types of breathing are performed together as one breath.

Then comes the exhalation. It begins with a slight retraction of the abdomen (air is, as it were, squeezed out of the lower lobes of the lungs); after which the ribs drop (the middle lobes of the lungs are freed), and finally the shoulders drop, the air leaves the tops of the lungs.

During breathing, attention should be focused on those muscles that are currently working.

At first, the duration of exhalation can be one and a half times longer than inhalation. Gradually you need to switch to the correct rhythm: 214. This means that the pause after inhalation should be equal to half the inhalation, and the exhalation should be twice as long as the inhalation.

You started smoking, or you don’t sleep enough.

This is from arrhythmia, one hundred percent. I had this happen, I need to treat my heart. And exercise regularly, but without heavy loads

and I have this garbage all the time, I save myself with Mexidol, Phezam or Picamilon, as the doctors prescribe, they diagnose vegetative-vascular dystonia, in addition, along with the lack of air, panic attacks also began, the cardiologist advised me to go to a psychotherapist, but I haven’t gotten there yet, very disgusting condition, by the way, I also yawn, this is how the body compensates for the lack of oxygen in the vessels

It's definitely nerve-wracking. Drink corvaol, or motherwort. It might also be a reaction to the weather. More positivity, less stress and don’t focus on your breathing! It will recover on its own if you don’t listen to it!

Blow your nose

This happens to me too! in principle, yawning is a mechanism for replenishing the brain with oxygen, and if you yawn, it’s either too stuffy in the room or you’re just tired and need rest. And lack of air and the desire to take a deep breath - this, by the way, can be a manifestation of a nervous disorder. There is no need to worry, this happens to me too. I’m just trying to get a good night’s sleep at least one day and ventilate the room more often, and I also think you should exclude caffeine-containing products from your diet, if of course you consume them! Good luck!

How to improve such health: you constantly want to yawn, you can’t always take a deep breath? And what is my diagnosis?

judging by the way you describe your feelings, the illness is of a neurosis-like nature. This often happens to young people. however, it is worth getting examined. Only after this can neurosis be treated with peace of mind.

and osteochondrosis of the thoracic spine (“pinched spine”) also happens in young people and can cause pain in the chest.

not counting arrhythmia. There is a respiratory arrhythmia, which is also considered the absolute norm in young people - the breathing rhythm changes during inhalation and exhalation. In addition, the sensation of arrhythmia can be given by ecstasystoles - interruptions in the work of the heart. also a common occurrence.

and the treatment of all this is sedatives, sedatives, normalization of the daily routine, proper sleep, moderate physical activity, vitamins.

and the mindset that you can and should live with this. The more you fixate on internal sensations, the more they will bother you. tested from my own experience.

And it is very easy to treat.

Eat three times a day.

Drink alcohol in moderation.

Spend more time outdoors.

Sitting at the computer less.

Bed (take 1 time per day).

Go to bed no later than 24:00.

Stop bothering yourself with self-medication.

Contact a good neurologist so that he can prescribe you vitamins for your neurosis.

But the main reason is dissatisfaction with life. You are dissatisfied with many things and often get irritated. Do you know how to rejoice? And again, not the whole country could explain some of your problems. Write.

I often began to take deep breaths and yawn. What is this?

Lack of oxygen, you may sit hunched over often, you can’t straighten your lungs at all, I just recently looked at how to breathe correctly.

try stopping the drug]

But I’m an asthmatic and not long before that I caught a bad cold and, as a treatment, I sat in the oven while it was hot, and even before that I hadn’t used my inhaler for a week. At first I thought it was like my lungs were burned, then I thought it was due to the abrupt withdrawal of hormonal therapy. Because the lack of air appears closer to the evening.

I started breathing hormones again, I ventilate the room (we have good heating), I use a spray bottle every day.

And it bothered me a lot

It’s better not to walk or ventilate the room for now. Do wet cleaning more often.

I licked the whole house, I had a manic idea - to get rid of the dust. She removed dust even in the most secluded corners, washed the floor, lifted all the carpets, washed the curtains.

And before that, I yawned every minute or just felt the need to take a deep breath, went to bed with my husband or just avoided sitting next to him so that he wouldn’t start saying again what a pain I am.

I'll try. How long have you had this condition? I've had it for about two weeks now.

don't even think about it, just see a doctor

Concor gives this effect in case of overdose, consult your doctor; most likely you need to reduce the dosage

that's it. or change the drug, there are so many subtleties that no one on the forum will really tell you anything, you need to go to the doctor, take all the tests and find out the reason why there is not enough air.

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T YAWN. How to deal with it

This, of course, sounds somewhat strange, but two weeks ago I was unable to yawn for the first time in my life. First, you stretch as usual, take in air, and it hangs somewhere in the area of the roof of your mouth. And it hangs there, not moving. You stand there like a fool, with your mouth agape, and at the same time the back of your head is itching. It's crazy.

Out of habit, I asked Yandex what I should do. The Internet responded to the query “I can’t yawn” with numerous calls for help that floated around unanswered. Hundreds of people cannot yawn and look for the reasons for this in everything that surrounds them, and no one can help them, because no one really knows why this happens.

Tatyana from Vologda writes on the traditional medicine forum “Zdravushka”: “Sometimes I want to take a deep breath or yawn - but I can’t! Is it dangerous?" User Villi addresses Medkanal regulars: “I have problems falling asleep, this is due to the fact that it’s difficult for me to breathe air, and for some reason I can’t yawn.” Girl Dauzhas on the LikarInfo portal: “I open my mouth like a fish and cannot yawn, as if there is not enough air. I feel like I'm going to suffocate now. And so often, very often, a hundred times a day, sometimes the muscles of the larynx begin to ache.”

Service [email protected] witnessed a heartbreaking chronicle: Aizulin says that he has not been able to yawn for two days: he breathes normally, deeply, does not go to training because he is scared, on the street he manages to forget about the problem, but does not yawn. “I open my mouth very wide, but the yawning function seems to have been turned off. Help me please!" And Rainy replies: “I can’t either. This goes on for about eight years. It probably started at thirteen. I've never smoked. It also happens that you have to strain to take a deep breath. On the street I don’t think about it either, but when I go to bed or just sit at home, it starts. And now too."

The fact is that everyone who is faced with non-yawning cannot find a way out, because there are no recipes or understanding of the nature of this phenomenon. People come up with dozens of different options. Nervous spasm. Respiratory neurosis. Neurocircular dystonia. Thyroid gland. Physical inactivity. Vegetative-vascular dystonia. Spine. Heart. Emotions. Nervous overstrain. Smoking. Self-hypnosis. Allergy. Asthma. Rudiments from primates. A lot of coffee.

How to get rid of this? The Internet, as usual, knows all the answers. Here is just a small list of folk remedies. Stretch your arms and jerk them. Inhale, release your hands, exhale. Breathing exercises. Drink a sedative. Half squat, lean your elbows on your knees, relax your back. Thirty drops of Corvalol. Noshpa and inhalation of diphenhydramine. Get a job as a loader, work a couple of shifts, sit awake in front of the computer all night. Go swimming. Take a walk and get some air. Drink more water. Go to the doctor. And don't think about it. Not to think. Not to think. Not to think. And take antidepressants. Breathe deeply. Sign up for lectures on art history.

I propose a radically opposite approach to the matter. You need to look at any of the four paintings in the “Scream” series by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch every day. It is reported that Munch wanted to depict the cry of nature and a creature trying to escape from this deafening scream, but if you look closely, you can see that the canvases depict a tired, tortured and twitchy man who stands with his mouth open, and tries to take a deep breath and yawn , but he hasn’t been able to do this for many years now, and no one, not even the Internet, can help him.

If Norwegian art doesn't cut it, you can look at these dudes, they yawn so much they start sneezing.

I want to take a deep breath and yawn

Being at rest, a person does not think about the fact that his body continues to work constantly. We blink, our heart beats, and countless chemical and biological processes occur. The body itself takes care of its condition. But sometimes, during periods of physical stress, we need to control the possibility of air intake ourselves. It becomes difficult to breathe, there is not enough air and you want to take a deeper breath. This is a completely normal condition after fast running, swimming and serious physical activity.

But there are situations when it is hard to breathe, there is not enough air when simply walking or even in a state of complete rest. Here it’s worth thinking about your health and starting to look for the reasons for such an uncomfortable state. If breathing difficulties occur suddenly, this may be due to the onset of a lung disease, such as pulmonary embolism, bronchial asthma, pneumonia. In this case, the temperature may rise and appear.

My mouth hasn't closed for a week now. I want to yawn, but it’s as if I don’t have enough air. I can't take a deep breath. Maybe someone had this? I can’t work or sleep because of this. How to deal with this?

Hello. This may be a joke, but it works for me. You need someone to yawn well in front of you and a chain reaction will begin.

They also say that if a person yawns or wants to yawn, the body needs oxygen. Maybe it’s worth taking a walk in the park for an hour or two and breathing?

I think about how I breathe, I constantly sigh deeply, I want to yawn.

I am tormented by constant yawning and lack of air - what could it be?

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Heart pain, headaches, and pressure surges are symptoms of early onset. Add to your diet.

Yawning represents a physiological reaction of the body, trying to make up for the lack of oxygen, which, with active and sufficiently deep inhalation, is forced into the bloodstream, thereby ensuring the saturation of brain tissue. The feeling of lack of air can have many reasons that contribute to its formation, and it is to get out of this state that the body reacts with the desire to yawn.

Links of the physiological chain

Regulation of maintaining a constant level of oxygen in the blood flow, and its stable content when the level of load on the body increases, is carried out by the following functional parameters:

The work of the respiratory muscles and the brain center for controlling the frequency and depth of inspiration;
Ensuring air flow, humidification and heating;
Alveolar ability to absorb oxygen molecules and diffuse it into the bloodstream;
The muscular readiness of the heart to pump blood, transporting it to all internal structures of the body;
Maintaining a sufficient balance of red blood cells, which are agents for the transfer of molecules to tissues;
Fluidity of blood flow;
The susceptibility of cellular level membranes to absorb oxygen;

The occurrence of constant yawning and lack of air indicates a current internal violation of any of the listed links in the chain of reactions, requiring timely implementation of therapeutic actions. The development of the symptom may be based on the presence of the following diseases.

Pathologies of the heart system and vascular network

A feeling of lack of air with the development of yawning can occur with any damage to the heart, especially affecting its pumping function. The appearance of a fleeting and quickly disappearing deficiency can occur during the development of a crisis condition against the background of hypertension, an attack of arrhythmia or neurocirculatory dystonia. In the most common cases, it is not accompanied by cough syndrome.

Heart failure

With regular disturbances in cardiac functionality, which results in the development of insufficient activity of the heart, a feeling of lack of air begins to arise naturally, and intensifies with increasing physical activity and manifests itself in the night interval of sleep in the form of cardiac asthma.

The lack of air is felt precisely during inhalation, forming wheezing in the lungs with the release of foamy sputum. To alleviate the condition, a forced position of the body is adopted. After taking nitroglycerin, all alarming signs disappear.

Thromboembolism

The formation of blood clots in the lumen of the vessels of the pulmonary arterial trunk leads to constant yawning and lack of air, being the initial sign of a pathological disorder. The mechanism of development of the disease includes the formation of blood clots in the venous network of vessels of the extremities, which break off and move with the blood flow to the pulmonary trunk, causing closure of the arterial lumen. This leads to the formation of a pulmonary infarction.

The condition is life-threatening, accompanied by an intense lack of air, almost reminiscent of suffocation with the appearance of coughing and the discharge of sputum containing impurities of blood structures. In this condition, the coverings of the upper half of the torso acquire a shade of blue.

Pathology results in a decrease in the tone of the vascular network of the entire body, including the tissues of the lungs, brain, and heart. Against the background of this process, the functionality of the heart is disrupted, which does not provide the lungs with a sufficient amount of blood. The flow, in turn, with low oxygen saturation enters the tissues of the heart, without providing it with the necessary volume of nutrients.

The body's reaction is a voluntary attempt to increase the pressure of the blood flow by increasing the frequency of heartbeats. As a result of a closed pathological cycle, constant yawning appears during VSD. In this way, the autonomic sphere of the nervous network regulates the intensity of the respiratory function, providing oxygen replenishment and neutralizing hunger. This protective reaction avoids the development of ischemic damage in tissues.

Respiratory diseases

The appearance of yawning with a lack of inhaled air can be provoked by severe disturbances in the functionality of the respiratory structures. These include the following diseases:

Asthma of the bronchial type.
Tumor process in the lungs.
Bronchiectasis.
Infectious lesions of the bronchi.
Pulmonary edema.

In addition, the formation of shortness of breath and yawning is influenced by rheumatism, low mobility and excess weight, as well as psychosomatic reasons. This spectrum of diseases with the presence of the symptom in question includes the most common and frequently detected pathological disorders.

And a little about SECRETS.

Have you ever suffered from HEART PAIN? Judging by the fact that you are reading this article, victory was not on your side. And of course you are still looking for a good way to get your heart functioning back to normal.

Then read what Elena MALYSHEVA says about this in her interview about natural methods of treating the heart and cleaning blood vessels.

When people complain about lack of air, they usually say “I’m out of breath,” “I don’t have enough air,” “I don’t have enough oxygen, so I take a deep breath every minute.” This disorder usually appears due to a violation of the frequency and rhythm of breathing produced by a person. This condition in which respiratory distress occurs, a lack of air is felt, a person breathes frequently and deeply, and takes frequent deep breaths is called shortness of breath.

When a person lacks air, it becomes difficult for him to communicate with others, he has difficulty concentrating his attention, and cannot speak for a long time. He has to breathe deeply, taking frequent breaths almost every minute, thereby trying to fill his lungs.

What diseases are accompanied by shortness of breath?

This condition can occur due to emotional shock, stress, or strong psychological tension. When a person experiences such strong emotions, the body intensively produces adrenaline, which excites the central nervous system. As a result, the respiratory muscles contract intensely, and the person experiences difficulty breathing. Usually, after calming down, normal breathing is restored.

However, most often shortness of breath occurs due to pathologies of the cardiovascular system. In the first case, the patient from time to time feels an acute lack of air when inhaling. He inhales air very often, but he cannot breathe in completely. This condition indicates a circulatory disorder that arose as a result of aggravated hypertension, ischemia, heart disease (aortic), etc.

With diseases of the respiratory system, lack of air also occurs. In these cases, the nature of shortness of breath varies depending on the disease. For example, when phlegm has accumulated in the bronchi, a person has difficulty taking every breath. If there is bronchospasm, difficulties arise during exhalation. Such breathing difficulties occur with bronchial asthma or when there is emphysema.

It can be difficult for a person to breathe with other diseases. For example, shortness of breath very often accompanies diabetes, anemia, and renal failure. Shortness of breath can also be caused by prolonged use of certain medications.

Why else is there difficulty breathing?

Not only diseases of the heart and bronchopulmonary system can force a person to take a deep breath every minute due to lack of air. This condition can be caused due to everyday reasons. For example:

Symptoms of shortness of breath often appear when you are surrounded by a large number of people, for example, in the subway. At the same time, in such rooms the flow of fresh air is minimal, but the concentration of carbon dioxide is quite significant, increasing every minute. Therefore, there is often a lack of air there and you have to take a breath often.

Also, if the windows in an office or residential apartment are constantly closed, then there is no place for oxygen to enter. But carbon dioxide quickly accumulates, which also causes shortness of breath.

In these cases, to normalize the breathing process, leave the metro station and breathe some fresh air outside. If you are in the office or at home, just open the windows and ventilate the room.

What to do if there is not enough air when breathing

If this condition is not associated with physical labor, sports activities or an unventilated room, you need to consult a doctor and undergo an examination.

Make an appointment with a therapist or cardiologist, pulmonologist, or infectious disease specialist. This must be done to establish a diagnosis. Only after finding out the cause of shortness of breath will the doctor prescribe you the necessary treatment.

After consulting with your doctor, you can use traditional treatment recipes that will help restore normal breathing. Here are some of them:
Folk remedies

Buy 10 fresh, large lemons from the market. Also buy garlic from this year’s harvest - 10 heads. You will also need 1 liter of natural bee honey. At home, squeeze the juice out of the lemons, peel the garlic, and pass through a press. In a large bowl, mix garlic pulp, juice, pour honey over everything. Mix well and store in the refrigerator. Make sure the container is tightly closed. You need to take this sweet medicine 2 tbsp. l. after lunch or dinner.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the product is very effective in relieving shortness of breath. After 3-4 weeks you will begin to breathe easier and no longer stop every 10 meters to take a breath.

You can use the well-known celandine herb. Collect fresh stems, leaves of the plant, squeeze out the juice. Take according to the scheme: start with one drop per day, increase by another 1 drop every day, reaching 25. Then go through the entire course in reverse order, decreasing by 1 drop every day. Drop the juice into a quarter glass of boiled water.

An infusion of young birch leaves helps well with shortness of breath and lack of air when inhaling. Do the following: pour 2 tsp into a cup. dried crushed leaves, add 1 cup of boiling water. After pouring the water, cover the cup with something warm, leave it until it cools. The warm infusion can now be filtered. After this, add a pinch of soda and you can drink half the entire volume 2-3 times between meals. Be healthy!
