Brief Answer:
explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern.
Sleep initiation, maintenance, consolidation and quality disruption leading to insomnia can occur due to a disrupted period of sleep cycle for days to weeks.
Day time somnolence, stiffness , headaches are generally associated with it.
If its an isolated sleep disturbance, then you could get a prescription for sleeping aid like valium from your doctor to regularize your sleep cycle and taper off the meds slowly.
However, if the problem persists, then blood counts and metabolic profile including Thyroid function and blood sugar needs to be done to look for any systemic cause of your symptoms.
Let me know if you have any query
thanks

can it be due to sinus issues? I take musinex but should I take something else
Brief Answer:
explained
Detailed Answer:
hi,
Sinusitis , initially is a clinical diagnosis and may present as unilateral or bilateral headache, maxillary or frontal tenderness depending on which sinus is involved, postnasal discharge and hyposmia etc. Musinex alone wont resolve sinusitis.
Empirically Augmentine ( antibiotic), rhinoclenil ( nasal spray combo) Psuedoephedrine plus ibuprofen ( Arinac forte, Antihistamine and NSAID combo) can be used for 10 days in consult with your doctor. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may order a CT PNS paranasal Sinuses for further evaluation.
Let me know if you have any clarification.
Thanks.
