Maureen0987,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I had autonomic nervous system dysfunction years (decade) ago that manifested from an upper neck injury. I had to avoid sleeping with my head/neck bent forward. It would effect my breathing, pulse and BP. It took therapy and years of disciplined sleeping behavior to stabilize.

The best I understand was this forward head position caused inflammation in the upper neck/brain stem, that interfered with autonomic functions.
