Detailed Answer:
Hi, Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
It is quite natural, most of us do feel difficulty in breathing when something is pressing chest. Chest area has to expand to breath in.
If that is troubling you, can get examined by doctor and depending on examination findings you may need to get pulmonary function tests.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you a good health.
