I got to the point where I considered it. I started doing 30 minutes a day on a stationary bike instead and my lungs cleared up. If you’re not exercising, you might give that a try instead.
Sleep apnea isn’t caused by lungs not being “cleared”.
It looks like not a lot of people are taking to your methods here :)
But I agree - I never considered the CPAP but I snored like a power boat. about 15 pounds UNDER weight, reformed smoker and have restless leg syndrome. Quitting cigs didn’t do anything for my sleep. (But nicotine patch dreams are THE BEST)
The RLS will put me on the couch, but since doing something similar to you (30 minutes running every day, 30 minutes exercise, 5 minutes breathing meditation) it’s gone.
Seriously, the exercise has done more for my health than the smoking cessation and the diet changes. Cheers !
