Can't Sleep with TOS? Try This!

If you have thoracic outlet syndrome, you might find it difficult to get some sleep. But there is a solution you can try.

You see, the reason why you experience pain while sleeping is that the sleeping position you are in creates compression on your nerves or blood vessels.

- This can happen when you sleep on your side, which compresses your chest and neck.
- It can also happen when you sleep on your stomach, which kinks your entire spine.
- Or your head may be tilted to the side while sleeping on your back.

All of these positions can create compression on the nerves, resulting in pain.

So what's the optimal position?

To sleep face up with your head in a neutral position, which will help avoid compression in the chest and neck. If needed, use some pillows on your side to keep you in a face-up position.
