Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if...

So I‘d suggest looking into the Buteyko Method. (I read „close your mouth“ by Patrick McKeown). Improving your breathing is never a bad choice.

You might not have asthma but I think learning the skill of breathing can still be beneficial for everyone, especially if you can‘t breathe lying down.

Having it harder to breathe on your back is pretty common, I had it too.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

I recently started working on my breathing, because my asthma was getting extremely severe. Because of this, I learned about the Buteyko Method, which has now, after 4 weeks, helped me be almost completely symptomless and changed my life as a whole. As a side effect, I can now also breathe while lying down on my back.

Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if im on my side or stomach but I feel uncomfortable since either my neck is twisted or my back is in pain, im physically healthy and my surroundings are clean so whats the problem?
