Does anyone know if an unlean CPAP can cause vestibular neuritis with vertigo, nausea, and migraine (for going on ten days)?

What causes vestibular neuritis?

Researchers think the most likely cause is a viral infection of the inner ear, swelling around the vestibulocochlear nerve (caused by a virus), or a viral infection that has occurred somewhere else in the body. Some examples of viral infections in other areas of the body include herpes virus (causes cold sores, shingles, chickenpox), measles, flu, mumps, hepatitis and polio. (Genital herpes is not a cause of vestibular neuritis.)
I'd say that the chances are very very slim.
