A member asked:

My 15 years old daughter feels tight when she breath, feels that she needs to yawn all the time.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs to be seen.: If she's having chest tightness when she breathes, this could be asthma, and needs to be evaluated. Is it all the time? Yawning would need to be clarified -- when/why/what brings it on, makes it better/worse, etc., and a thorough history and evaluation by her pediatrician with referral to a specialist if needed is indicated.
