1- Bad posture
“One of the most prominent side effects of using a high pillow is poor upper body posture, particularly around the neck and spine.”
2- Muscle tension and stiffness
“It can cause neck and shoulder muscles to remain tight throughout the night.”
3- Respiratory problems
“It can affect breathing, particularly in people prone to breathing problems such as asthma or sleep apnea.”
4- Digestive problems
“Sleeping with your head elevated can contribute to reflux or heartburn as it can cause stomach acid to back up into the esophagus.”
5- Poor circulation
“It can compromise circulation, especially in the arms and shoulders.”
6- Headaches
“Improper head alignment during sleep can place excessive pressure on the neck muscles and blood vessels.”
7- Skin problems
“It can add pressure to the face, which can lead to the formation of deeper lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and forehead.”
