Excessive yawning is telling you about these health dangers
EXCESSIVE YAWNING COULD BE HIDING THESE HEALTH DANGERS: We believe yawning is a natural process. You'd be surprised to know that while yawning occasionally is quite normal, yawning too much is not. When excessive yawning becomes a part of your daily routine, it could be indicating an underlying problem.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU YAWN? When you yawn, you open your mouth wide and breathe in air, filling your lungs. Your eardrums stretch and extra oxygen is carried to your brain and other parts of the body. A yawn can be both of long and short duration.
WHAT DOES YAWNING DO? It increases our alertness by forcing oxygen and blood into our brain. That is why it happens when we are less alert or tired. We yawn when we go to bed at night, when we wake up or when we are bored as in these situations our brain becomes less stimulated and yawning increases alertness.
THE PHYSIOLOGY OF YAWNING: Your diaphragm, larynx, the thoracic muscles in your chest and the palate of your mouth are all involved in the process of yawning. The process also wets your lung’s air sacs.
SLEEPING DISORDERS: Insomnia or sleep apnea, the most common sleep disorders can lead to excessive tiredness and thus yawning.
BRAIN DYSFUNCTION: Studies say that brain tumour may lead to excessive yawning and can be linked to the lesions in the brain stem. Yawning can also be a result of compression of the pituitary gland.
HYPOGLYCAEMIA: Excessive yawning can be the primary signal of hypoglycaemia in diabetics. Hypoglycaemia occurs when blood glucose level falls below 72mg/dL.
