Feeling Out of Breath When Full
Is this an odd thing? I have always been this way. Even before cancer. When I get full or even begin to feel full I find it hard to get a good breath. I get this sensation of like needing to breathe deeply or even yawn. I actually have to stop eating because it's such an uncomfortable sensation. I have seen people whose noses run when they feel full. The deep breathing that I do when I get full though always made my hubby kind of laugh at me. Now that I am post cancer I hate it because number one I feel it's worse now. I get a terrible full sensation in my chest, not my tummy. I feel it in my neck too. Does anyone feel like they need to breath in more deeply or yawn as they eat? Or am I just real odd ball? In some ways it's a good thing. I know when I am getting full and it makes me stop eating!

you're not an oddball, or maybe we both are. I have asthma and I feel out of breath when full often. Getting in the habit of taking a deep cleansing breath in through the nose and out through the mouth several times during a meal might help... some times I "forget" to breath when I'm "inhaling" food. I'm yawning just reading about it!
I do too! after 2 helpings I have to do some deep breaths before I can get the third helpin down!
its feels odd......cause even i eat....my tummy full if the food is good......but feeling out of breath....hmm.....new to me....
but best of luck .....\,,,/
You're not an oddball, it happens to me if I eat too fast.
You know I do have this too....it makes me feel guilty because I am thinking I ate way too much that's why I cannot breathe anymore:)
Hi Sandi. I asked David about this, and he said you may have a mild hiatal hernia or a problem with your diaphragm. You probably get burps and/or reflux also. If your chiropractor works with those areas, see him/her.
That may help.
