What Causes Breathing Difficulties With Yawning?

I am an 18 year old female and I have been having difficulty breathing and constant yawning for the past half hour.I think it might be anxiety and stress.But the thing is I am also a bulimic.I don t binge,I eat very little and purge everything after that.So now I fear that could be the cause of my difficulty breathing.Please and thank you to anyone who can help me.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
I can understand your concerns

You have difficulty in breathing and yawning problem due to anxiety and stress. You feel that you also have eating disorder.
I think you should consult a psychiatrist.
Fluoxetine would be the drug of choice for treatment in your case. It will cover almost all of your symptoms.
Psychological treatments like behavior therapy would also help.
Thanks
