Re: Question about yawns

[Guest guest]

Hi Angie.

I don't know about the yawning but try this website

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003096.htm

don't know if it will help. But I would say the second theory with lack of O2 as

the cause. Not heart problem. Could be a faze too.

Question about yawns

My almost 3 year old son is in excellent health. He gets 2 cpt treatments a

day and does pulmozyme once a day. He very rarely coughs. About 1 or 2

weeks ago he started yawning a lot. Just out of the blue. He will stop

whatever he is doing and yawn a great big yawn and then go back to whatever

he was doing. His sleep habits have not changed, so he should be getting

plenty of rest. Until this started I don't remember ever seeing him yawn.

It just seems a little strange and I wondered is it means he isn't getting

enough oxygen. He just had a clinic visit a few weeks ago and his lungs

sounded great. Oh, and just the last fews days he has been clearing his

throat a lot.

Any ideas?

Yawning is the brains way of getting more oxygen .Have him take ten deep

breaths and see if it makes the yawns go away for awhile.I used to have a

science teacher in high school who would for his first class of the day stand

and yawn until he had everyone in class yawning he told us it was the laugh

of his day to see all those high spirited and energetic kids yawning as they

left his class.He also kept his class warm for the same reason.BeckyB.

Yawning is one of my symptoms that my sinuses are acting up. Sometimes it is

the only symptom, which is pretty weird. The throat clearing could be PND.
