My experience with the hug has been a tight feeling right around my diaphram. Feels like I'm being squeezed by a boa constrictor.

For me to breathe easier, I need to sit like a queen with my arms resting on the back of a couch or oversized chair.

I get those twitchy spasms all over the place, and the chest area can be the worse. Sometimes my tummy will spasm so much it looks like a scene from Alien

Hang in there!
