I have heard that excessive yawning is the bodies attempt to rid itself of a carbon dioxide build up. Maybe try some deep breathing exercises to see if it helps.

Default Hi
Everytime I read this thread about yawning.........I start yawning lol not because Im bored, I really just can't stop yawning!

I thought the only thing that would make you yawn was seeing someone else yawn, not just reading about it!

Has anyone else had the same issue or am I just very strange?

Love
Rach

Connie, during the plasma exchanges, they warn you for 2 signs: odd sensations in the lips and the tongue=lack of calcium and yawning=lack of sugar...
Or am I confused?

I don't believe the yawning is a part of it. I've had quite alot of plasmapheresis done. And they've never said anything about yawning. Yet, yes with the tingling in the lips, toes and fingers it is a calcium definecny, which they just give you extra fluids and some tums if you have this.

Tyson, I just got back from my PX session and I ckecked with them: yawning could definitively be a sign of hypoglycemia as sugar is in the plasma which is extracted during the PX. That's why they inject some glucose in the substitution plasma at an average level which could be too low for some poeple, for ex. for those who didn't eat enough before the session.

Hey Maurice,

I do remember my oncologist telling me that as well. He advised me to eat a hearty breakfast before my treatments. I didn't have any problems with the sugar issue, only calcium which they gave me many tums for and slowed down the process. Take care.

Hugs,
Pat
