Senior Person Can't Sleep Posted: 11-21-03 13:02pm
Help is needed for my mom who's in her
late 60s, and has been having sleep
problems. She'd sleep around 11pm, but
would wake up around 2/3am. Sleeping
pills help, but it's not a long term
solution.
She also has stomach problem, where she
felt something is 'stuck' in her throat,
which also causes her to lose sleep over.
This would also happen in the first half
part of her sleep, between the hours of
11pm to 2am. At times she would wake up
because of the stomach problem; at times
she just wakes up without the stomach
problem.
She did her ecg, intestine, gastronomical,
blood etc every test possible, but doctors
found no abnormality. Some suggested it's
hormone issue, others liver.
