Asked By:kristal suppan in Odessa, TX

My lungs are absolutely fine but because of the weight of my breast it makes it hard to breathe and I wasn't getting enough oxygen I do weigh 234lb i do watch what I eat exercise is harder but I do my best and then dr. Says don't overdo it so my question is if I have a breast reduction will it help with my weak diaphragm and hard to breathe so maybe I can get off oxygen and do more exercise Plus you think that having large breasts is a problem for your diaphragm not working properly being weak
