ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, CHF, COPD; which makes sleepy after...? |
every meal? Family member of mine who's being diagnosed with these three, plus a few other secondary problems, becomes sleepy, after every meal. She's in her eighties, completely mentally aware (unless she's been a bit breathless more than usual), in which she may either repeat same question or story. And this I attribute either to less oxygen reaching her brain or maybe need for more sleep. You are correct it could be the lack of oxygen, but really you need to speak with her physician about it. He can take her medication into consideration and maybe she needs some tests. Don't guess go to a professional. She's 80. When she eats, copious amounts of blood flow to the digestive system in order to digest her food. This is why she is sleepy. aged people start sleeping more |
