my mom is very sick, she has suffered from a heart attack and a stroke in the past couple of months. Weve noticed that shes sleeping a lot and has no energy. Just recently her sleeping is deeply (nothing wakes her, not the phone, us talking or anything) does this mean anything?
Hi, It could have different causes, the most possible cause are changes in the brain caused by previous strokes which can have different presentations, also sleep disturbances. Heart patients can have such problems when the patient is very sick and the brain doesn't receive enough blood supply because the heart works very weak. Sleep disturbances are common also among older people, usually after 85-90 years. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions
