I'm not very tired, but I keep yawning... Is this a dangerous sign of 'this disease'?

When I yawn, our staff also ends up doing the same, haha.

You're really giving me a hard time.

I definitely slept well, ate well, and went to work, but...

There are days when I find myself yawning quite a bit subtly.

 

Even when I experience indigestion, I still yawn???

 

 

 

Yawning usually occurs when you're sleepy or tired.

However, if you yawn repeatedly despite not feeling very tired, it could be due to a specific condition.

According to the survey results of the Federal University of Paraná in Brazil,

If you yawn more than three times within 15 minutes, it indicates a risk of illness.

I learned about diseases to suspect if you excessively yawn frequently.

 

 

Migraine

 

If you keep yawning without feeling tired, it could be a warning sign of a migraine. Migraines are characterized by periodic pain in specific parts of the head. They occur when there is an abnormality in the secretion of neurotransmitters like dopamine, and yawning is a response that occurs when dopamine secretion increases.

 

If you suspect a migraine, identify the situations in which you experience migraines and avoid those situations. If it is difficult to avoid triggers or if you experience headaches more than twice a week, it is advisable to take medication.

 

 

Stroke

 

Acute stroke can also cause frequent yawning. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to paralysis of the limbs, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms. It damages the brainstem and cortical structures and also reduces brain activity. As a reflex response to this, abnormal yawning may occur.

 

If an acute stroke is the cause, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and swallowing difficulties may also accompany yawning. In particular, if you regularly drink excessively or experience high stress, you should be cautious as it can trigger a stroke.

 

 

Parkinson's disease

 

Parkinson's disease can also be a cause of excessive yawning. Parkinson's disease is a condition characterized by low dopamine secretion, leading to symptoms such as hand and foot tremors and muscle rigidity. When the level of dopamine in the body is low, the brain attempts to activate dopamine, which can cause yawning. In addition to frequent yawning,

 

If you experience symptoms such as trembling and rigidity of the body, slow movements, bent posture, or shuffling gait

You should suspect Parkinson's disease and visit a hospital for examination.

 

 

◇Epilepsy

 

Yawning symptoms may frequently appear when treating epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder caused by overexcited nerve cells in the brain, accompanied by seizure symptoms. The primary treatment for epilepsy is medication, and in rare cases, if medication is ineffective, surgery can be performed to remove the brain tissue responsible for seizures.

 

At this time, if resistance develops to the medication used to treat epilepsy, partial seizures may occur. In this case, yawning symptoms may appear as a type of seizure.
