I have a hard time breathing when I'm laying on my back. I can feel my throat being obstructed to a degree. When I put pressure on my diaphragm I can feel my throat open up more and my breathing improve. It's the same when I'm sitting up. My ear,nose and throat doctor didn't seem to have any real answer for me. He tried to give me some quick explanations but it honestly seemed like he didn't really know why this is happening. All he really said is that it may seem like I'm breathing better but the airflow is probably no different. I can tell you that it definitely opens up more and my breathing improves. Any idea at all what is going on here?
