HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, from the history given here I could say that the poor posture during the sleeping could cause compression of cervical region and might disturb the blood circulation also, maintain the good posture while sleeping, and no need to worry bout this, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
