Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 8 year old daughter has anxiety and insomnia. During the day, if she has a meltdown, her nose starts bleeding. At night, she has to take medication to sleep but has recently started sleep walking again, which is what she started doing first when she was younger before she stopped being able to sleep. She is socially awkward and different than most kids, including her younger brother. Could her anxiety be causing her insomnia, and if so, what can they do for a child that young with anxiety.
Hi dear, I understand your concern. Causes of insomnia: -gastrointestinal diseases (reflux); -hyperthyroidism; -restless leg syndrome. Causes of anxiety: -stress from school; -emotional traum; -stress from illness. I suggest: Ashwagandha 1 capsule daily in the evening for 1 month. It is helpful for stress,insomnia. Wishing your daughter good health
