Why i can breathe better when i lie on the left side of my body, head specially.

Guesses???: Of course a thorough and proper exam would be best to diagnose you, but possibilities could include a nasal/sinus blockage that affects your breathing on one side, that gets triggered when lying on that side. See a dr. And a good exam will let you know for sure. Best wishes.
