Paraphrase of "feel restraining and stiffing"
Dear teachers,
There was an expressing "It feels restraining and stifling to wear the mask so tightly wrapped around one's face." in a news article.
(http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/program/program_economysmall_detail.htm?no=10068815)
Can I paraphrase it as follows?
- It feels choking to wear the mask so tightly wrapped around one's face.
- It feels stuffy to wear the mask so tightly wrapped around one's face.

Intech CEO Lee Chang-sun has been working in the injection molding industry for nearly 20 years, and he had always been interested in developing new items using the injection method. He came up with the idea to make a mask using the technology in the early 2000s when Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS was a major public issue. He founded the company in 2013 with the support of the Small & Medium Business Corporation, and put his thoughts into action. But even if a plastic mask is harmless to the human body, wouldn’t it feel restraining and stifling to wear one so tightly wrapped around one’s face?
Thanks and best regards,
David Kim
