I tried doing 'planks' exercise & noticed i hold my breathe - i find it difficult to do the exercise and breathe normally. can i suffer thorax problem?

Breath or change: Anytime when we end up holding breath during exercise there is a risk of injury either mechanical or biochemical. If holding breath happens verify whether you follow routine (that you trust) correctly , or better yet have somebody watching you as you do that routine.
