I have been kind of diagnosed with OSA (have appt. with Doctor this Thurs.). Had a sleep study and apparently they had sufficient data to warrant use of CPAP. I have been on CPAP for about 3 weeks. But my question is not about CPAP.

I have a long history of sinus problems since childhood. In fact most recently I had a septoplasty and a turbinates reduced. This is now all ancient history.

My question is…before everybody got comfortable with the CPAP and was still sleeping poorly, did any body experience lightheadedness (particularly around lunch)? I can’t tell if this is from lack of sleep or something else.

Anybody have any similar experiences?
