Stop.

You don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Obstructive sleep apnea is not caused by issues with lungs. It is an issue with the soft tissue in your throat/esophagus and specifically with the muscles relaxing more than they should while resting and reclined.

There is no “training your body to do better.” There is no getting your body to compensate.

Unless you want to count a CPAP as training. CPAPs push air not to help you get oxygen in your lungs but to instead prevent the obstructive relaxation from occurring.

Not treating sleep apnea is a great way to end up in an early grave like my dad, whose heart was horribly damaged from living wirh sleep apnea his whole life and never treating it.
