What Causes Dizziness With Insomnia When Suffering From Aortic Regurgitation?
59 year old male who has been lightheaded and dizzy for the last 3 months. Avid exerciser running 4 days a week and lifting nautilus 3 days. On Lisinopril 20 mg have aortic regurgitation but echo shows no more enlargement than 3 years ago. Drink alcohol at night, jack Daniels mixed with Ginger Ale. Do not sleep well maybe have apnea as I snore. I am 5 ft 10 in weigh 176. Never wake up rested and get up at 4 AM every morning and at work at 5 AM. Run a company. Took a sudafed last night and did not drink and feel a lot better today. Should I go to a ENT to see if it is allergies.

Most probably you have Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) .. Donot sleep straight in supine position... There are multiple management plans..... Weight loss is the primary treatment of OSA.... .. Try to reduce weight... If that is not helping then you can use mandibular assisted devices.....
