News Topical, Digital Desk : If you are having trouble breathing, then it is very difficult to get a full night's sleep. This kind of problem can also be caused by some disease or your sleeping position. What measures should be taken for this so that you can get a peaceful sleep?

This position is the best

Sleeping on the side is considered best in terms of breathing. This opens up your windpipe naturally. Not only this, it also keeps your neck and back in a straight line and also reduces back pain.

Sleeping on the back

If you have trouble breathing at night, sleeping on your back is usually not recommended. This can worsen breathing problems. This increases the pressure on your windpipe and obstructs the flow of air. Sleeping on your back also prevents the diaphragm, the muscle located below your lungs, from expanding as much as   in other sleeping positions .

Sleeping on your stomach

If you have obstructive sleep apnea,  sleeping on your stomach  helps open your windpipe. But some people do not find sleeping in this position comfortable. This can also cause neck and back pain.

sleeping with head elevated

For those who have trouble breathing while sleeping, sleeping with one or two pillows to elevate their head a little gives relief. This prevents the feeling of stiffness and allows you to breathe deeply.

Breathing problems can occur due to these reasons

  • sleep apnea
  • Asthma
  • COPD
  • Cold and cough
  • Sinus related problems

In such a situation, take the help of a doctor

  • You may not be able to sleep the entire night due to breathing.
