Diabetic With Sleep Apnea, Have Sudden Episodes Of Enervation. What Could Be Causing Them?
My 85 year old mother is experiencing sudden episodes of no energy. She becomes unable to talk or move. When it passes, she says that she is aware of everything around her, she just has no strength to speak or engage in her surroundings. She is diabetic and had sleep apnea....but she hasn't had these episodes until recently.
ELDERLY DIABETES PATIENT WITH SLEEP APNEA, CLASSICAL SIGN OF AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY, PATIENT IS HAVING AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY. IT IS VERY ESSENSTIAL TO TREAT THE PATIENT, I SUGGEST YOU TO CONSULT YOUR NEUROPHYSICIAN. BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL SHOULD BE INDIVIDUALISED.
