One day I was working in a shop with another MIG welder and I told him I felt really off, I couldnt catch up on oxygen. He told me to go lay upside down so that my lungs were that way and hold your mouth open to let the gas escape. Argon is so heavy that it settles in the bottom of your lungs and cant leave without a little help.

Wouldn't you need to be face down for easy drainage and so that the flow doesn't stop in your throat when you are face up?

the only difference between the two is the one i mentioned, you are faced out, the way youre talking about has you munching on the mattress. Although I have a theory this concept is pretty easy to conceptualize and you're just goofing around

Not at all. To make this work, I was imagining your head on the floor, your feet on the bed. Maybe a folded towel or pillow to rest your head on. An inversion table is probably the bets way to go about this.

an inversion table would be the best, but anything you can do to kinda get upside down is the point. i suppose even doing handstands would be useful, but i would think anything that puts a strain on your body might not give you enough lung control to do a full lung exhale
