Rosaria,
About the sitting position, it may be better to sit in a comfortable chair with your head free to move in any direction, rather than against a wall.
NSR brings a much deeper level of rest than the deepest sleep, so there is a corresponding decrease in metabolic rate. Soon your body will be used to the new style of functioning and the discomfort with breathing should disappear. It may help to practice a simple alternate-nostril pranayama for 2-3 minutes before each meditation session, to prepare the respiratory system for the decreased breath rate. Contact me through www.nsrusa.org if you need instructions. (Note: I will be away most of the day Thursday.)
