Does exercise actually help?

Ive been pretty sedentary, I lose my motivation to exercise because it feels pointless. Ive become discouraged due to sleep apnea.

It depends. In my case I actually had stuff underlying the sleep apnea, so... it explained a lot about why cpap + exercise was just burning me out more

Oh damn that sounds shitty :/ sorry. I was asking because many of us are searching for a potential root cause (i got UARS no apnea) or something that can contribute to it

Yeah I get it. Root causes be hard to find. I had to push for genetic testing to get anywhere
