What To Do If Chest Starts Cramping Causing Breathlessness And Pain In The Neck After A Big Yawn?

I yawn a big one earlier and my chest started cramping to the point i had to breath and had to breath in little by little at the same time the back of my neck started to hurt. It probably happened to me atleast 5times since last year. It is pretty scary.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You seems to suffer from-Hypokalemia with Muscle cramps of inter-costal muscles.Scary feel is from low potassium levels.
Neck hurting indicates low potassium causing cramps.
Remedy-
Would be to take- a glass of-Orange juice and banana shake-to supplement potassium and to raise accompanied glucose levels.
Magnesium supplement-with nuts/lentils supplements.Be on high glucose diet,which would keep potassium to needful levels.
Check out causes of low potassium in your case-like diuretics, diarrhoea,magnesium laxatives,antibiotics etc.
And reduces stresses from work.
All this would reduce the yawning from weak muscles with low potassium levels.
Check out blood sugar levels and potassium levels and consults with Physician would be needed to fix this issue immediately.
Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.

If need be, update any health issue 24 x 7 by a direct question to ME, at following HCM link-http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/Funnel?page=askDoctorDirectly&docId=70229
