asthma and binding
heyy, i looked in the tags but didn't see anything i'm sorry if i somehow missed it.
i am a bigger guy (over 200 lbs) right now i have a medium double front binder which is the one i commonly wear. I have a large as well but don't wear it as often. my problem is i have very significant asthma... i haven't been binding recently (partially due to being ill and also asthma) and i still have had problems breathing. i realllly want to go back to binding as my confidence is much lower since i have stopped. my problem is that even when i was wearing my binder for only an hour or two more then the recomended time i became unable to breathe and would have to run and take it off... this would even happen when i just wore it daily for the reccomended number of hours or as short a time as i could go w/o it. i also get pains in my chest and down one of my arms as well as the usual back/ neck problems. i was just wondering if any other guys had bad asthma and new any ways to help with breathing or get around it some... i even have trouble when i wear the large... ANY suggestions would be VERY appreciated.
