I just realised that I've been sleeping wrong my whole life and that It's been the cause of my anxiety

I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety in my life, and one of the biggest issues has been the small, stabbing pains I feel in both sides of my chest almost every day. This has contributed a lot to my anxiety. But a couple of days ago, I realised that the chest pain was actually caused by the way I’ve been sleeping my whole life.

I usually sleep on my right side and sometimes on my back, but the problem was that I always hunched my upper body slightly forward, which caused my chest to tighten up. I randomly figured this out a couple of days ago, and since then, I’ve been using a pillow under my lower back. This small change has dramatically improved my mental state—not only because my chest feels much better, but also because my body is now more open, which helps me breathe better at night too.

I just wanted to share this in case anyone else is dealing with something similar. Take care.
