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