Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My mom finds it hard to sleep at night. She wakes up in the middle of the night and keeps walking around. And I have seen her many times doing so. What should I do to improve her condition as she is not ready to come to the hospital? I am worried. Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Your mom may have sleep disturbance or stress, or psychosis. So, I would suggest taking the tablet Clonazepam (benzodiazepine) 0.25 mg at night to help her sleep. Can you please tell me the reason for her sleep disturbance, as it might be helpful in the treatment plan? Please revert with the reason.

I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
