A member asked:
After wearing a tight high-waist pants for a few months now i experience pain when deep-breathe and am unable to inhale fully. how can i recover?

Are you wearing: pants that have a tight band across the waste? Waist training can cause shortness of breath, fainting, & indigestion. This practice can decrease lung volume (requiring intercostal breathing). Relatively less use of lower lungs can leading to coughing. Some corset styles can push the lower ribs inward. The liver is forced upward & accessory lobes of the liver may form. Stomach >
