What Causes Uncontrollable Yawning And Stretching?
Yesterday I was uncontrollably yawning and stretching when you get the urge to stretch and you have a good stretch it feels good. But last night or yesterday it kept happening every few minutes or so for an extended period of time and I couldn't stop

Hi,
Uncontrolled yawing and stretching may be due to insomnia or sleep apnea or narcolepsy or anemia.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Do regular exercise and yoga. Use tablet Alprazolam, if you didn't get sleep.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor/sleep therapist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
