Oxygen: Yawning is supposed to increase oxygenation. Perhaps you need to have an Oxygen Sat taken during exercise. A home Pulse ox machine can be purchased off Amazon inexpensively. Your doctor could prescribe an Exercise Stress Test. Usually done in cardiac lab. See a doctor for more work up and testing for a final diagnosis.
