Maybe: Yawning can induce a temporary decreased heart rate (bradycardia), which may result in a premature beat, felt as a flutter or palpitation, in some people. If it last more than a couple of seconds, or results in almost fainting, rather than brief and symptom free, a cardiac evaluation is indicated.
