Sleep apnea: how to improve breathing after sleeping on back

Hello @lisawuriu, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @bigj and others. You mentioned you have sleep apnea but didn't say anything about using a CPAP or other treatment. I also have obstructive sleep apnea and am mostly a side sleeper. Sleeping on my back affects my sleep and breathing also. I wouldn't think that coffee or other stimulant would help the sleep but it may help you wake up and breathe better. The American Lung Association has some breathing exercises that might be helpful - https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/wellness/breathing-exercises.
Do you also use a CPAP?

@johnbishop Thanks, I'll try out some of those exercises. I've tried to use a CPAP, but for some reason, it makes me very dizzy, even after using it a short time.

CPAP one of the best ways to deliver air it helps me a-lot I started with the lowest pressure to get used to it
Ps,
I was tested I stop breathing alot of times per hour with Cpap machine 2-5 per hour
