I am yawning all the time. Please help!!

I am a new member and this is a great site! I hope someone has a thought or an idea on my problem of constant yawning. Some days I yawn every few minutes. I don't think I am tired. But I keep yawning. I just started using a CPAP machine so maybe that will help my yawning. Does anyone know the cause of constant yawning or better yet, a solution? Thank you for the great responses to my other questions.

I don't know why you are yawning but that is my problem too and it gets worse when I am talking, singing or reading outloud. The yawns then cause my nose and eyes to water. I think it has something to do with not getting enough oxygen when you are breathing. Yawns cause you to take a big deep breath. It is just a guess. I'll be watching this post to see if anyone knows the answer.
