Discussion Could lying on my side reduce agonal breathing?

Agonal breathing, death rattle or whatever that would make weird noises after taking SN

Would lying on my side make less noises than lying face up?

I think we snore more on our backs so- maybe but then, I'm not sure it's actually preventable as the body starts to shut down. Seeing as SN starves the body of oxygen, I would have thought difficult/ laboured breathing would happen at the end.

But, I think they recommend lying on the right and slightly upright to take SN anyway. I imagine we may move about though as the process takes effect. I don't know really.

Is there any particular reason lying on the "right" is preferred rather than left?

I think because the opening into the large intestine is on the right side of the stomach so- to try to get the solution to drain into it quicker.

I've heard people say lying on the left reduces acid reflux though so, I think there's some debate.
