yes it can. being over weight makes it harder to move around, and therefore requires more energy from your body. the extra energy will certainly affect your breathing.
good luck.

Being overweight conflicts with everything. Why don't you see your Dr. for a check up?

yes it does cause da fat is pushing down on your rib cage and lungs and those who have asthma already have very little space in da broncials and trachea to breath
