Suggest Treatment For A 28-year Old Man.

What would help a young man 28 with insomnia? He s had bloodwork done, comes back normal, but has not been able to have deep lasting sleep for the last year. I think he d do better with some nonallopathic regime, as there is chemical sensitivity in the family, and he also has gerd to deal with.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
For GERD problem, he has to take a course of antacid medication like Tablet.Rabeprazole once a day before meals for 3 weeks. Along with it he needs to avoid consumption of spicy and oily foods.
For insomnia, it would be ideal for him to practice Cognitive & Behavioral therapy in the form of relaxation training and meditation regularly, which will help to keep his mind calm and stress free, so that he would be getting good sleep. Consuming a glass of milk at bedtime would also be helpful to induce sleep.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
