Hello,

I have  recently stopped smoking and for some reason my throat muscles feel like they are trying to make a yawn even when I don't need to. I yawn and it seems to help. I also have TMJ (not sure if that adds to it or not). My TMJ does cause neck and jaw pain until I can really relax and it eases. Can the weird throat-needing-to-form-a-yawn issue be related tot he TMJ?
