Sleeping on left side problem

I am in my third trimester week 34. I seen a lot of resources stating it’s better to sleep on the left side, however, I have difficulty doing so as I felt more breathless and nausea compared to sleeping on the right. Would there be any issue if I sleep more on the right compared to the left?

The left is the preference from Ob as better for circulation and digestion, but right also ok. I also checked last appointment with my Ob if it is ok to sleep mostly upright and he had no concerns as long as I am not flat on my back. Both sides uncomfortable after a while.
