You have Hyperventilation, in simple terms you are simply over breathing and your manual breathing is over complicating things. You don't need medication you just need someone to teach you how to control your breathing, I'm not sure where you live but there should be at least one place that has a breathing/respiratory specialist around.
It is purely psychological and to do with muscle memory, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you, you just have to be re-trained to breathe from the diaphram rather than the chest. When you inhale to the chest the breath you take will feel empty and won't feel 'complete' (it won't feel like you had a good ol' breathe in, like you stopped short). It will probably make you light headed too.
This is becuase you likely have too much oxygen in you, the norm is around 96%, you could have around 99% which is far too much, you may also have to little if you have trouble breathing when you sleep.
Re. yawning, this is just psychological. It is because you are breathing from your chest, rather than your diaphram. When you soon learn to breathe from the diaphram automatically the yawnings will stop because a) you aren't freaking out because you think you aren't getting enough oxygen when, really, you are probably taking too much in and b) your brain and blood has a stable amount of oxygen.
If you have time google Hyperventilation and "Dinah Bradley", she is an amazing woman with great insight on this symptom, there may even be tips and tricks online but I would strongly suggest you learn from someone who can watch how you are breathing.
Hope this helps.
