Does CPAP not wok for me, as I'm dizzy again?

Thank you, Janknitz.

I do have high blood pressure, as well as diabetes (just diagnosed before getting my CPAP). I've been taking medication for high blood pressure for more than 10 years with the same prescription of the Indapamide tablet (just 2.5mg/day). Usually, I'd feel OK if I could have a good sleep. There has been no symptom after I started using CPAP. Your experience is very helpful which gave me a new cue to find the problem. I went to a Walgreen's store today trying to measure my blood pressure, but found they didn't provide the service. I'll go to a CVS store later.

Frankly speaking, I'm reluctant to seek help from Kaiser, as the sleep specialist I met seems not so knowledgeable. I'd rather like to learn from here. I'm so thankful and grateful to those like you who spent considerable time and effort to help newbies like me.

Best regards,

Leak can still be impacting things. Can you post a report as Jankintz suggested? Don't know how?

How to insert image/report


Open the image to full size so it is easily read.
I use Vista snipping tool to create a screen shot and crop the image at the same time.
Prt/scr key will also take a screen shot if using XP. If laptop is used sometimes the Fn key has to be pushed at the same time as the prt/scr key
I think windows 7 also has the snipping tool.
Once the screen shot is created save it in jpg format.
Upload the image to a host site. I use Photobucket it is free, there are others.
Once the image is uploaded then copy the ENTIRE IMG address. Be sure to include the opening and closing IMG in brackets. Paste that copied address into a post here.
Use the preview button. If you can't see the image try again because if you can't see it we can't.

I would recommend purchasing a home digital BP machine. You can get one by Omron for 50-60$ You just put it on and push the start button and it does the rest. It would be a lot more convenient than always going to CVS etc. When you go to the doctor take it with you so you can calibrate it with the manual BP check.
