Asked By:Aline251081 in London, ON

Hello, I'm currently breastfeeding, but I always had big breast. A while back, I kept having shortness of breath where I was given puffers, wthith no success, I did more tests and was told I had a small hole in my heart.Before I agree to close it, my sister( in Europe) had the same issue, and was told that her breast are the cause.after her breast reduction, no more shortness of breath. I wonder if my breast might be the cause of my breathing issues, upperback pai and neck. Thank you so much.
