Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I'm really concerned because even though I tested negative for COVID on April 12, I'm still feeling awful. My chest feels congested, and there's this constant heaviness in my head. Plus, my legs ache all the time and I feel fatigued throughout the day. I've had an X-ray and a CT scan, and they both show my lungs are clear, but I'm not sure what else could be going on. Could you help me understand what's happening?
