Dizziness and cpap [and FFM]
#21
RE: Dizziness and cpap [and FFM]
what kind of events do you get and what's your ahi? how long do you sleep? have you tried going without cpap for a night or two? do you think you're sleeping better or worse with cpap?

you might get some add'l feedback if you post some sleepyhead charts. respiration rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, the relationship between inspiration and expiration times, might also be instructive.

it's hard to know what you mean by dizziness. maybe you can describe what you feel in greater detail.

lack of sleep, the rare occasions I get too much sleep, or when awakened abruptly from deep sleep, often leaves me tired, disoriented and fuzzyheaded. not having ever felt particularly dizzy from sleep and cpap, disorientation and fuzzyheadedness is as close as my experience gets me.

the fact that the ffm reduces your symptoms may be telling and is worth thinking more about, although it'll have to be someone a lot smarter than me about mask specs and the physics of respiration.

You've rec'd a surprising number of responses, considering. it might be to your advantage to provide more details.

RE: Dizziness and cpap [and FFM]
I believe i solved my problem! I found a post on this site suggesting turning my cflex down or off. 3 nights ago I turned it to 1 with FFM and felt better with a little dizziness. The following 2 nights i used my nasal cushion with the 1 setting and felt good with slight lightheadedness. I actually felt pretty good this morning. I turned the clex off this morning and will see how i do tonight. I am hopeful this will work as I am so much happier wearing my tiny nasal mask compared to wearing the FFM and extremely happy about the dizzy problem being reduced. I want to thank everyone who helped me. I wish i could find the post that suggested turning the cflex off so I could try to thank them but i had no luck finding the thread. They did not go into why this would help and i would be very curious about the reason if anyone could shed some light on the matter. As a side note does anyone know where the spell check is as i did not see it up in the setting tab. 

Thanks

The spell check is within your browser. I don't think the forum software has it built in.

Edited to add: I checked and it does not. Most browsers have this function built in.

FWIW Google Chrome browser spell check from a search result page:

"How do you turn on spell check on Google Chrome?
