Possible Insomnia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.
You possibly seem to have Insomnia-Sleep maintaining type.
This is usually associated with underlying stress or depression.
Pertaining to the nocturnal leg cramps, it is important to rule out anemia and hypothyroidism.Hence, you need a screen for that.
A short course of medications like Antianxiety with sedative action will offer the best help in you case.
I generally prescribe to my patients oral pills of NEXITO FORTE for a period of 6 to 12 months with such symptoms.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these drugs to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
Possibility of Anemia or Hypothyroidism can be ruled out.
