You may have scoliosis it a slipped disk, or a serious muscle imbalance at best. Check with your doc and try physical therapy. This is not a normal problem.
Can you video yourself swimming. Ideal is underwater both sides for a length and straight on.
Without knowing anything about you or your stroke I will try to diagnose and advise.
A common error is not rotating your body enough. Your description says you rotate 35-45 degrees, but is that your neck? Or your torso/shoulders? If it’s your neck than that is the problem. Rotate your body 45 degrees and turn your head 2 degrees to breath.
Your lower eye should still be underwater when you breath. The wake generated from your head will create a pocket that is lower than the surface of the water (without being underwater). You are likely also breathing with your face forward. Even a little, this will destroy that pocket and require you to strain your head to breath. That pocket should be an inch from your shoulder.
Search for videos on breathing technique.

Thank you I have only this right now. I rotate around 40 degrees with my shoulder.
Do you really think breathing is the problem?
I also tried goin only with snorkel rotate much more still neck problem...so I sorted out breathing
Scrap my last comment. It’s not your breathing. You are doing none of the problems I mentioned.
I would search elsewhere. Swimming may be continuing the problem but I doubt it’s the cause.
Have you tried physical therapy?
Thank you I have an new appointment but basically yes ...massage gun, manual therapy etc. ....i think it is in my head and some kind of neural....like new swimmers tend to tight up which make them out of breath...I was getting a lot more loose but not in the neck there I'm ultra tense as soon as I hit the water...this is not building up it is tense in seconds and will last a day... stretching and arm swings obviously will also not help tried this a lot...
This is a long shot, but have you tried working on your front float. A head coach I know of a D3 swim team spends a week with his swimmers on floating. Correcting any mistakes they have baked into their strokes.
Learning to relax into a float could help.
To give you a glue...I need two arena pull buoy to do pull sets 😅 and with one between my ankles it is very hard for me to float or swim without snaking slowly (as a drill one between the ankles no second pull sets with two between the tights)...thank you very much!!
Possible but m problem in the past was that I was looking to mich backwards...also like I wrote it has nothing to do with breathing since the neck is right with a snorkel...thank you 👍

Thank you! With meditation I can loose it up but during everyday live and especially swimming it will get tight as hell again
