Could Dizziness And Problem In Neck Be Connected To Sleep Apnea?

I have neck problems and I also have Sleep anea. I had been feeling a little dizzy lately When I first get up but this time when I got up and I turned fast to check the time I got so dizzy that I had to hang on to something so I would nt fall.The night before I had used my fireplace and left the door open and my bedroom smelled of smoke when I went to go to bed. I know my kneck problems have caused me dizziness before so I wonder if it could also be something else I

hello,
sleep apnoea will not cause these symptoms. however, they seem to fit in the category of cervical spondylitis. this is a degenerative disease of cervical vertebrae, very commonly seen in clinical practice. this should be treated effectively otherwise may cause significant on and off distress in form of dizziness,nausea and headache arm ache, backache..

This can be taken care by doing regular neck exercises and avoiding any sudden neck movements.
It will be best that you turn completely and not just turn your neck if you have to see something behind. Same way , avoid bending neck too much.

Get Vit. d leves and calcium levels and treat if there is any need.

Hope this helps you
