I've noticed that as a training session progresses I find it hard to do a full breath-up, specifically filling my chest. After my last DYN session this week I did some chest stretches when I got home and I seemed to experience some relief, it's also fine after a couple of hours. So I'm wondering whether this is just a bit of fatigue/tightness developing in the chest during the session? I don't currently have freedive specific stretches in my routine, just general stretching after my gym workouts and some occasional yoga asanas.

Has anyone experienced this and if so, am I identifying it correctly?

Thanks!

I'm no expert by any stretch but could it be corona? Pneumonia?
Also I had exercise induced duspnoia after 50min walking with full spearfishing gear ~10 kilos, then spearing 5 hours then walking up the hill 1hour with more weight. Also after cycling 5 hours 3 repeats going up a 850 elevation gain mountain and down.

When exercising, if the body isn't receiving the right amount of necessary blood flow it can lead to a variety of heart issues that can result in a tight chest, such as coronary heart disease. According to UCHealth, any blockage in our arteries, which limits oxygen flow throughout our body, can make our chest tighten.
 
In the past i found my jacket was to tight in the early days .Also in the past i had a collision whilst night running ! that was noted from my former Pyhsio.!since then i have strenthened the area .The other is a change of diet brown carbs omega three foods Broccoli Avoid red meats and salt keep it natural stay away from alcohol or it could be an asma allergy good luck
 
Could always get a massage from someone that knows what they are doing. Therapists know the body pretty well and could have some insightful information, perhaps one just needs a massage after doing these types of exercises.
