CPAP and vertigo/dizziness - Has anyone else had this?

Post by SleepyGuy » Mon Nov 08, 2004 5:05 pm

I posted this before but I wasn't very clear and maybe I can get more responses if my message is clear.

After my titration test I woke up tired and dizzy. I now have a machine of my own and the same thing has happened. It does seems to be getting a little better.

Has anyone else had this? Does it get better eventually?

Did your sleep tech give you any feedback?

Maybe you were so oxygen deprived before that you are getting a "high" from the treatment.

Maybe you are adjusting to a large increase in REM sleep and it takes a littile time to get back to the real world in the AM.

Do you feel rested in the AM?

Just some thoughts.

Hope you can adjust soon and feel comfortable with the treatment.
