Well, first off, i'm sorry if this isn't
in the right category but I have no idea
what is happening or where I should bring
it up. I thought the question and answer
would be able to help.
Well firstly, i'm sure we've all had those
moments where you need to take a deep
breath. Well every now and then I get
this urge, but instead of just taking the
deep breath and going on, i'm not able to
breathe in deeply enough to satisfy this
urge. It's kind of hard to explain, but
instead of hitting that peek in the yawn
or deep breath, it gets close, but then I
can't breathe in any more air, and so I
have to breathe out without satisfying the
yawn. And it's not just once either, it
will happen over and over and over again.
I'd really love to know what causes this,
and what's going on. I've talked to some
other girls and they say they've had these
respiratory problems as well. None of us
knows what's happening. Any information
at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I used to have the same problem. It
endured through 8th-10th grade, especially
when I lifted weights. I believe that
that problem is very psychological.
My remedy was to develop a smooth control
of breathing habits. Get a breath of
fresh air wherever you can. For me it's
outside. Try to inhale and exhale
slowly, and meditate like that for a
while. Gasping for air is usually
uncommon when you're relaxed and
meditating, so that's a great way to learn
how to control your air intake.
I'd imagine if that remedy couldn't work,
then there's a more serious concern at
hand, which should be handled by
consulting a doctor.
