but what you just said is really stupid. do you think all that meditation is, is about closeing your eyes and sitting realxed and deap breath and clear mind and this stuff ? well your wrong. meditation is about controlling your thoughts and mind in a special way that it could effect something. and for the record, controlling your mind is about controlling a part of it not all of it! as you sleep just part of your mind sleeps and a lot of parts stay functioning. you can even make a part to stay awake by training. for example sleeping while your sitting without falling on the ground. you can controll a part of your mind even while walking or listening to music. because you don't use all of your mind parts just for walking. There are tens if not hundreds of different meditation techniques. So yes, there is a "closeing your eyes and sitting realxed and deap breath and clear mind and this stuff" type of meditation. Understand this, your truth may be not someone else's truth, and assuming you know better than anyone else will cause problems, for that is the path of arrogance.

And regarding your question, that sounds like bad positioning, find a position where you have no problems breathing. In many meditations, your breath will get shallower as you get deeper into the meditation, but I've never heard of a meditation that causes inability to breathe, in my opinion you should stop before you hurt yourself.
