What you're describing â suffocation and digestive discomfort whenever the chest or abdomen is compressed â is a well-recognised symptom pattern often associated with acid reflux (GERD) or a hiatus hernia, where part of the stomach bulges upward into the chest. Any external compression raises intra-abdominal pressure and pushes stomach contents upward, causing reflux symptoms that can genuinely feel like breathlessness or suffocation. Abdominal bloating and gas can make this significantly worse. This is a treatable condition and you do not need to continue avoiding all fitted clothing forever.
Next Steps
Please see a physician for evaluation. An upper GI endoscopy and abdominal ultrasound may be recommended to check for hiatus hernia or GERD. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Usually this happens when you suddenly put on weight. Suffocation and breathlessness can occur with slightest exertion or even with tight clothing .
