Is There Any Relation Between Scalp Tightening And Deficiency Of Oxygen?

My boyfriend is always wanting me to massage his scalp and he always complains that it is tight. He also has trouble breathing sometimes at night and he snores. My boyfriend is also a smoker. Does the scalp tightening have anything to do with oxygen getting to his brain or poor blood circulation?

Hello,

It is unrelated to smoking. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
