insomnia

I started with insomnia after mitral valve repair 22 years ago . Flecanide and amioderone caused horrific nightmares. I am on Apixaban , Digoxin and Losartan ., I have been for years. But for all those years I have never slept through the night. I fall asleep then I wake about 3,30 , I eventually go back to sleep but it is broken . I dream every night, no longer nightmares but vivid!I do not have restless leg syndrome . Broken migjts for 22 years is exhausting and depressing .

OTC options for insomnia include: valerian, chamomile, hops, L-tryptophan, 5-HTP, glycine, and GABA. Some prescription medicines include Ativan and Ambien. But I am confused. You say you don't have RLS? Did you mean that you do have RLS?

no I posted before realising it was only a RLS forum . I don’t have RLS but I have AF and insomnia.

Not what you're looking for?
