Please pray for me, the doctors have recommeneded I get surgery or a CPAP for it, and I currently dont have a guaranteed job where I would make enough money for either. I think it started right after I got covid in 2020, though it could also be due to my allergies.

Sleep apnea can have several causes that you could resolve without fancy medical treatment. Talk to your doctor about resolving your sleep apnea naturally. A few simple steps you can take right now:
1. If you're overweight, start losing weight. And that doesn't mean go to the gym (although it's good if you do); It means stop eating so much.
2. If you drink, smoke, or use drugs, quit. If you don't want to quit, at least moderate your use more.
3. If you have high blood pressure, work on controlling your diet and your stress. Google what kinds of foods are bad for blood pressure, I'm not an expert. Pray, meditate, or practice deliberate deep slow breathing to decrease stress. Foods that cause systemic inflamation can also physically cause stress.
4. Try to get a decent amount of cardio exercise regularly. Cardio will naturally help with blood pressure and stress control. Cardio also keeps your lungs strong, and strong lungs could help prevent your airway getting blocked further up.
5. Ask your doctor how healthy your tonsils are. Some people collect deposits in their tonsils unusually fast, or collect unusually large deposits (tonsil stones), or just have easily irritated tonsils, which can affect your airway. If your tonsils are a problem, research ways to clean them out, dietary changes, or ask about having them surgically removed.
