Brief Answer:
No worries, happens many times. Slight adjustments needed

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Sleep apnea aids specially Positive airways pressures like CPAP and DIPAP devices cause vertigo some times due to pressure on the inner ear. All it needs is adjustment of pressure and that your doctor can order easily. Just give them a call and let them have a look. Usually reducing the pressure helps relive the symptoms. Meanwhile you can take some antivert for the dizziness.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
