When you feel a yawn coming (this is one of those weird nerve things that work), rub your forehead with your fingers (just above the middle of your eyes)
Yawning is due to the fact you are breathing slower and not taking in enough oxygen, so u should yawn to get that extra oxygen in ur system
When you are sleepy or drowsy the lungs do not take enough oxygen from the air. This causes a shortage of oxygen in our bodies. The brain senses this shortage of oxygen and sends a message that causes you to take a deep long breath---a YAWN.
Yawning is a natural reaction and can not be prevented, but it is COMPLETELY normal. Yawning is caused because not enough oxygen is getting to the brain. Thus, it usually happens when an individual is sleepy or not thinking clearly.
Right side spasm when yawning?
I have had this problem for many years and my Dr. said that it was a epiglotal spasm and that breathing into a brown paper bag slowly would help it to go away and it seems to help.But I also have scleroderma and my new Dr. now things it could be linked to that-I have been referred back to my specialist so will report back if i have any news.
Hello. This could be because you have Asthma. I get this myself and its perfectly harmless. Or you may be experiencing a slight palpitation which is also normal. I'm not sure if a palpitation is all that normal. If a fluttering is in the chest after a sneeze, my bet would be on a twitching or an intermittent spasm of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle that sits at the base of the lungs and is responsible for allowing you to take air in and out. During a sneeze, the diaphragm has a violent and intense contraction. After the sneeze, it is quite possible to experience this muscle twitching. Any muscle that contracts in such a way can still have residual aberrant contractions.
As we all know, when we get tiered we can become sleepy, groggy, grouchy, and even down right mean! But did you know that yawning is not just a symptom of being tired, but could be a sign of something much much more serious... yawning is a symptom of a lack of oxygen to your body. That’s right, a lack of oxygen can result in low 02 levels in your blood and that can cause a variety of problems which include sleepiness and yawning not to mention other more serious conditions in the respiratory system. So if you happen to have a pulse-ox (the little thingy that they put on your finger at the hospital), try using it the next time you find yourself yawning in excess.

What can i do to stop yawning all the time?
The best "medicine" to keep from being tired everyday, is to get more sleep. Some people have sleeping disorders, called Sleep Apnea, and are treatable by several methods, the least obtrusive being using a C-PAP machine to help breathe during sleep. I use one every night and absolutely love this machine - can't sleep without it anymore. My snoring has stopped, and I am getting restful deep sleep (REM Sleep) every night.

Why hiccup yawn cough or sneeze?
Hiccups: Like with the beating of your heart, your diaphragm and lungs have a smooth muscle/involuntary repetitive action cycle to them, you don't always have to remember to breath, right?. Your body is hard-wired to breath at a certain rate, causing your lungs and diaphragm to contract at intervals. Now, as you know from going to the bathroom and straining to poo, your diaphragm can be consciously controlled as well. So hiccups are caused when your voluntary actions on your diaphragm put it out of sync with the involuntary contractions of your lungs. Your lungs and ribs contract to pull in air at the same moment that your diaphragm relaxes which would push out air, and that smacking together of the muscles is what we call a hiccup.
That is why as a cure, we hold our breath, or drink water for a certain period of time. By stopping our ability to breath, we push the metaphorical reset button on our lungs and diaphragm, re-syncing the muscles.
Yawn: As you know, breathing brings oxygen into our lungs which then oxygenates our red blood cells who bring the oxygen to the rest of our bodies for a variety of purposes: to clear away lactic acid build up in our muscles, get rid of muscle cramps, improve physical and brain function, to turn into energy, and a variety of other processes. We need oxygen to live. When you finally go to sleep, your body doesn't, your heart keeps beating, and you keep breathing, often deeper in your sleep. That's because when you sleep, your muscles and your brain are resting, while your body refuels them with oxygen for the next day, clearing away any buildup of waste and healing you while you sleep. When you're tired, your body isn't getting enough oxygen. A yawn is your body's attempt at a quick refresh and awakening by pulling in a lot of oxygen to rejuvenate your brain, improve it's function and blood flow.
So the next time you're in a deep conversation with somebody and they yawn, say, "thank you," because it's a compliment to you. Your conversation is so interesting and complex that they need to increase oxygen and their brains' function to understand everything you're saying.
Cough: A cough and a sneeze are just wonderful, they're our bodies attempts at protecting us. A cough is when your body senses something liquid or solid pushing to get into the lungs. Your lungs close off their opening, tense up, and Push back, Boom! a Cough bursts forth, pushing all the air in your lungs at the intruding object or liquid sending it into your mouth or throat, where you can decide to swallow it or spit it out. It's a defense mechanism to protect the lungs from foreign objects.
Sneeze: A sneeze is a beautiful thing, it's your body's way of protecting you by expelling any dangerous particles it senses in your nasal cavity. Like a cough, a sneeze protects you from foreign particle, but this defensive play is aimed at your nose. When we breath in through our nose the little hairs and mucous membrane inside the nose catch any offending particles that are too big or don't belong in the lungs, like a safety net. When we blow our noses and mucous comes out, that's us cleaning out the net. But sometimes, bad particles get deep in the net of our nose who then sends a message to the lungs of "Danger! Beware!" Our lungs then, breath in through our mouths and "Achoo!" Shoot air out through the nose and mouth at speeds of up to 100mph, sending away any offending particles and clearing the nose net for good function and more breathing.
I hope this helps, sorry if I went into too much detail. The human body is just SO cool!

Well,If you are outside and the wind blows into the direction you are looking, it will make your eyes tear upbecause the wind is so strong.Some times the water in your eyes builds up and holds it for such a long time, that they just fall out.The only other reason would be that you are sad about something! :)

Why is air warm when you exhale?
It is usually warmer, but not always. The temperature of the interior of your body is about 98-99 degrees Fahrenheit. So when you breathe in air that's cooler than that, the air is warmed by your lungs, and so it's warmer when it comes out. However, if the air you're breathing in is hotter than your body temperature, like say 105 degrees in the desert, the air will actually be cooled by your lungs, and will come out cooler than when it went in.

When you yawn why do your eyes water?
I personally think that it is because when you blink, your eyes produce moisture to keep your eyes from drying up, and you close your eyes for a long time and very hard. The harder you close your eyes, the more moisture your eyes produce, therefore, you think that your eyes are watering.
