Yawning is a common symptom of tiredness or boredom. Yawning is linked to certain hormones that increase your heart rate and cause brief alertness. So yawning when tired or bored is your body’s attempt to keep you alert and awake – if only for a while. Yawning is completely normal, but frequent yawning may sometimes indicate some health problems, which we learn about in this report, according to the “Times of India” website.
If you yawn excessively – more than three times in a 15-minute period, it could be a sign of a health problem.
Excessive yawning is an indication of 5 health problems
1- Sleep apnea or insomnia
Sleep deprivation is one of the most common factors behind excessive yawning. However, this deprivation can be caused by any underlying health condition such as sleep apnea or insomnia. Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
snoring And feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep means you may have sleep apnea, according to the Mayo Clinic.
With insomnia, you may have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting quality sleep, the US National Institutes of Health explains.
2-Medication
Excessive yawning may be caused by taking certain medications, as some antipsychotics or antidepressants can cause excessive yawning as a side effect.
Make sure you don’t take any of these medications without a prescription, stick to taking them as directed by your doctor, and seek medical help if you experience excessive yawning.
3-brain disorder
Excessive yawning may be an indication of a brain disorder. Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and migraines can cause excessive yawning.
4- Anxiety or stress
Excessive yawning may be due to anxiety or stress, in which case yawning may be a way to deal with stress.
5-Heart attack
Excessive yawning can occur in the case of a heart attack, if the oxygen supply around the body is affected. However, note that this is not the main symptom of a heart attack, and therefore you should not panic.
