How Causes Heart Arrhythmia Along With Chronic Insomnia?

My boy friend has not been able to eat or drink much, at all, for many mos. now. He had his gallbladder removed 10 mos. ago & has NOT really recovered. He is 71 yrs. & suffers from heart arrhythmias but has a GOOD Cardiologist & takes his medication faithfully. He ALSO has Severe, Chronic Insomnia for the past 35 yrs....which ONLY Exacerbates his bad (medical) condition. Fortunately, he s been to several extremely GOOD Sleep Clinics for this chronic problem. We follow the recommended Protocol & yet he stills suffers, yet manages. This past week has been EXTREMELY BAD, in so far as NOT being able to eat/drink very much at all. I help him to take in SOME nutrition & electrolytes...but his condition remains dire. Once one hasn t eaten much, for a very long time, it s VERY hard to Eat. I KNOW this & try to help him force SOMETHING into his gut. He refuses to go to ER & has numerous Good Doctors & appts. lined up for CONTINUED TESTS. Do ANY of his Symptoms line up w/an Identifiable Health Problem? Thank YOU, Truly!!
