A member asked:
Constant air hunger and yawning to get deep breath for past 3 years. dr said heart is good, lungs good and clean cath. anxiety or something else?

Habit: breathing is something that is influenced by being thought about. A certain amount of yawning is normal - a way of helping to keep your lungs expanded. If you are not finding your ability to exercise being limited then things are probably ok. Exercise testing may be helpful if not already done.

A Psych Eval and....: Here are good exercises to try while you seek a good match w/ a Psychologist to evaluate your needs. It may be enough to use these, but it will optimize whatever else you do to correct this condition. This is a good description similar to what I teach my patients. It really works! http://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/treatment/breathing-exercises
