A member asked:
I am having episodes of excessive yawning (ie. 10 yawns in 2 minutes). this has been happening for 6 months. should i be concerned?

Yawning: There are numerous explanations for why yawning occurs. "excessive" yawning has been described in patients with diabetes, brain illnesses, and other conditions, although these associations have not been subjected to rigorous controlled studies or clear determinations of why they happen. Maybe you are just very sleepy or bored. If all else ok, would not worry. Good luck.
