Hi Lauren, I don't have any answers however I do have the same thing...I
just never attributed it to the PCOS or glucophage. I know exactly what
you mean, it's not that you can't breath it is like you said...you keep
trying to take a deep breath and it seems like there is resistance like
something blocking your lungs from expanding??? Glad to know I'm not the
only one...maybe someone out there knows something. Take care, Monique
