It has been constant since 8/13/95 when tm hit me. It gets tighter and more uncomfortable if I do anything more than my usual routine. At times it is so tight I can't take in a deep breath.It is not painful. I take baclofen 30 mgm twice a day;have been on that amount since onset of tm.I tried to cut down the baclofen,but then the tightness becomes unbearable.
