How To Increase Concentration Power?
I get a very tired feeling. I feel that I have difficulty in being alert at work. If I am in a conversation with someone for a few minutes, I suddenlty drop off to sleep and have difficult in keeing my eyes open. Is there a vitamin deficiency, what could be the problem?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have narcolepsy. In this case, patient feel difficult to stay awake and feel sleepy all the time. It is not due to any vitamin deficiency. It happens due to some neurotransmitter imbalance. You need few stimulant like modafinil or armodafinil that would help you to stay alert. There drugs are not available over the counter, so you have to consult a physician or psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
