Lightheaded when waking up from a nap . happens randomly when sleeping .i don't snore and i'm not over weight. what could this be ?

Sounds like: you may have a mild (early) case of benign POSTURAL HYPOTENSION...(Low Blood Pressure) Suggest you maintain your HYDRATION ( have some soup before napping ...a little salt may be good for you) Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
