Why do tears come out when you yawn?

Why When I Yawn,Tears Come Out?

• Whenever I yawn , tears come out. I don't have them pouring out, but my eyes water and when i yawn really hard a lot of tears come out. Is there anything i can do for it to stop ? Thank you!

• Answer:

  Well, there is an extremely long answer that use a bunch of big words that most people won't know so I'll give you the shorter version... Basically when you yawn you squeeze you eyes shut and cut off the flow of water(tears) that flow through the tear ducts and basically squeeze the tears out of your eye... That is why, the harder you yawn, the harder you squeeze, the more tears you have... I suffer the from the same problem... I don't believe you can stop it except maybe trying to ease the pressure on your eyes when yawning... I always have the luck of yawning at the most awkward times and people keep asking me why I'm crying... During movies and such...
