Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 53-year-old female, and I weigh 110 pounds. I have a sleep disorder problem. Please suggest some remedy which is easily available and effective.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.
A middle-aged woman with a sleep disorder. The most likely clinical diagnosis and possible initial steps and suggestions are given below:
1) Major depression: Do a psychiatric evaluation.
2) Obstructive sleep apnea: Do a sleep study.
3) Menopausal or peri menopausal insomnia: Do a laboratory test for gonadal hormones.
4) New onset diabetes mellitus: Do fasting blood glucose and HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) in blood.
One can address each of the following likely clinical scenarios with a primary care physician. The first is best handled by a psychiatrist.
Hope this addresses your query.
Regards.
