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?

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