What Causes Excessive Sleepiness?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your mother's symptoms. She needs to be evaluated to determine the underlying cause of her excessive sleepiness.
This would include checking the level of sodium in blood and thyroid hormones.
In addition, a sleep study (polysomnography) may be needed to confirm the sleeping disorder.
Treatment would depend on the exact cause of her excessive sleepiness.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
