What Causes Dizziness While Using CPAP Machine For Sleep Apnea?
Hi I have sleep apnea and am using CPAP machine. I have been feeling very dizzy of late. I Have recently had a CT scan,which was quite clear. I am worried about the way I feel and the Drs can t give me any answers. Could it be the CPAP machine. On several occasions at night I have woken with a terrible feeling of pressure in my head, have trouble walking and it takes about an hour to settle down. Thank you Bev Leopold

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are not having good amount of sleep of at least 6 to 7 hours then such dizziness is likely, else vestibular dysfunction could be the cause of dizziness, and for that Tab Betahistine 8 mg three times in day can be tried hope this information helps.
