Dizzy for 5-10 seconds when I first lay down

Post by laprof » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:05 am

Good Day! I checked on the site under "dizzy" but all of the posts refer to being dizzy throughout the day. Mine is a bit different. Does anyone else get dizzy for 5-10 seconds when first laying down with your CPAP machine going? Most nights I get dizzy and sometimes a bit of pressure in my ears. Nothing long lasting, but something new since I've been on CPAP therapy.
Best.

It happens to me occasionally, but not from CPAP....it's from age.
