Are you using the armrests of your sofa as pillows?
“I’m watching TV with the armrest of the sofa as a pillow.”
“When I get home, I’m lying on the sofa.”
Be careful of those who say that.
Using sofa armrests as pillows can be dangerous to your health.
It looks like a warning message written on a cigarette packet.
However, it is dangerous to use the armrest of the sofa as a pillow.
“What’s so dangerous about using the armrests of the sofa as pillows?!”
you may say.
Using the armrests of the sofa as pillows can cause various autonomic imbalances.
Autonomic imbalance caused by using the armrest of the sofa as a pillow
Part ① Palpitation
“Are palpitations a heart problem?”
that’s right.
It’s a heart problem.
But the heart is driven by the autonomic nervous system.
What happens when the function of the autonomic nervous system gets worse?
heart becomes weaker.
Then you start having palpitations.
Then, where is the autonomic nerve of the heart located? It is in the spine.
It emerges from the spine just below the neck.
The posture of using the armrest of the sofa as a pillow puts an extreme burden on the spine, which is where the autonomic nerves of the heart come out, and distorts it.
If the distorted state continues for a long time, palpitations, which is a problem of the heart itself, will eventually start to occur.
And if you don’t stop using the armrests of the sofa as pillows even when you’re having palpitations, you’ll develop anxiety symptoms, and if you don’t stop, you’ll likely develop panic disorder.

Part ② Vertigo
If you use the armrests of the sofa as pillows, your neck will straighten out.
“Isn’t it a good thing to have a straight neck?”
It looks good at first glance.
However, when the neck grows straight, it is called a “straight neck” in orthopedic surgery.
It is also known to cause neck pain and headaches.
“But isn’t vertigo an ear problem?”
that’s right.
It’s a semicircular canal problem in the ear.
A straight neck is having a bad effect on the semicircular canals.
A straight neck lengthens the neck.
As the neck lengthens, the blood vessels running through it get a little stretched.
Imagine a rubber hose.
When you pull on it, the tube becomes thinner.
The same thing happens with blood vessels.
As the blood vessels become narrower, the blood flow becomes worse.
Then, the flow of lymph flowing in the three semicircular canals also gets worse, and dizziness occurs as a result.
After reading this, would you still use the sofa armrest as a pillow?
I would advise you to stop right now.
