Why do I feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying down wearing a bra?

It is very normal for women to wear bras. In addition to protecting the breasts and making the female figure look more graceful, the bra also serves to set off the breasts. However, many women are tortured by bras. For example, they feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying in bed wearing a bra. So, why do you feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying down wearing a bra?

Wearing a bra causes chest tightness

Generally speaking, the problem of chest tightness when wearing a bra is caused by the bra base size being too small or too small. The reason is actually very simple, because the base size refers to the lower chest size (that is, the length around the bottom edge of the breast), which is what we call the size of the back buckle circle.

The bottom of the bra happens to be located at the "heart pit". If the size is too small, it will directly squeeze the heart and chest area, causing chest tightness and difficulty breathing. If the bra is equipped with an underwire, the situation may be even more serious, such as palpitations, nausea, dizziness, etc.

Wearing a bra while lying down causes chest tightness

In fact, the reason why you feel chest tightness when lying down with a bra on is the same as the reason why you feel chest tightness when wearing a bra. However, there is one situation in which chest tightness only occurs when lying down with a bra on, and that is in overweight women. When overweight girls lie down, the fat on their backs will be squeezed to the sides, instantly causing the lower chest circumference to "increase". Naturally, the originally suitable bra bottom size will "become smaller" in wearing feeling, eventually leading to chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying down while wearing a bra.

In fact, no matter you are fat or thin, when you lie down with a bra on, you will feel that the bra has become "smaller", the only difference is the degree of shrinkage. This is one of the reasons why I always recommend that you don’t wear a bra to sleep.

The dangers of chest tightness when wearing a bra

A tight bra will restrict and hinder the movement of the respiratory muscles, causing the chest cavity to contract and relax unevenly, which in turn affects the respiratory function and ultimately leads to insufficient ventilation of the two lungs, causing symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, difficulty breathing, nausea, and dizziness. In addition, a bra strap that is too tight will also compress the neck, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, affecting multiple physiological functions, such as pain in the arm area when wearing a bra, back pain, and other problems.

Besides, what should you do if you feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying down with a bra on? The problem can be solved with just one trick.

I believe everyone knows that there is a small thing called "underwear extension buckle" or "underwear extension buckle" among bra accessories. If you have chest tightness and difficulty breathing when lying down wearing a bra, you can solve the problem by simply adding a bra extension buckle! Isn't it simple?
