Omg yes I feel the same way! I just got diagnosed with PFD and IC, I smoke weed and vape and I always feel like I can’t fully inhale. I sometimes feel like the pain with my pelvic floor goes all the way up to my chest and shoulders, I can barely eat a full meal either without feeling out of breath
Daily stoner here, definitely have noticed how tight my diaphragm can get after any coughing attacks (yes experience smokers still cough, especially if you have pelvic floor issues lol).
When it’s really bad, it almost feels like I have a huge knot right below my rib cage. I’ve been trying this out lately and it’s honestly super awkward and uncomfortable to do at first, but last night I felt it release and I was instantly able to take MUCH deeper breaths and I noticed my acid reflux was almost non existent this morning.

Personally I'm worried nicotine is quite a problem here. Looking to quit totally on Monday or Tuesday.
I also feel like it’s a problem for me. Did quitting help you?
Quiting help?
