Does anyone know if tight clothing, in addition to, and whether caused by weight issues or just being a wrong fit to begin with(or being tight because of layers for winter!), can cause issues with your heart, blood pressure, pulse? Obviously they can affect your intestines if it compresses your body but what about the cardiac issues? Sometimes at work I seem to feel a gurgling(or perhaps even feels like rubber rubbing against rubber somewhere in the chest, instead of gurgling) and obviously, not dropping dead afterwards makes me look at temporary causes - today for example I put on some thick athletic shorts for heat underneath my suit pants. It's not giving me any stomach discomfort but could the increase in tightness nevertheless have an effect?

Hi-

I hope this helps, since I have been treating the Lyme and Babesia, I noticed that I have trouble with tight fitting clothes around my torso, arms as well. I sweat much more, my internal thermometer really heats up and I start to feel really sick. As soon as I take the layer off, I feel better. I really think it has something to do with my skin being unable to breath. Sound weird? I think with all the detoxing, suffocating the skin is not a good idea- just my two cents-

Yes, tight clothing can affect circulation, which ultimately affects the heart (makes it have to work harder). You may be experiencing heart palpitations (the fluttering or rubbing sensation in your chest) - an EKG may reveal these palpitations, so it would probably be a good idea to discuss this possibility with your doctor. Take care,
