Apparently you're still alive.......

Are you taking any blood pressure medications? Since CPAP therapy can lower blood pressure for SOME people, if it gets too low and you are on BP meds, you might want to discuss this with your doctor.

Hypotension or low blood pressure can be more dangerous than high blood pressure,

Symptoms
Some people with low blood pressure are in peak physical condition with strong cardiovascular systems and a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke. But low blood pressure can also signal an underlying problem, especially when it drops suddenly or is accompanied by signs and symptoms such as:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fainting (syncope)
Lack of concentration
Blurred vision
Nausea
Cold, clammy, pale skin
Rapid, shallow breathing
Fatigue
Depression
Thirst
someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...
