A member asked:
Why is it harder to breath when im neck deep in water standing or sitting. like pressure on my chest and hard to breathe.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breathing in water: because the water has mass and indeed is putting pressure on your chest. The deeper you go the higher the pressure applied.
