A member asked:
My father is on oxygen all the time for copd. is it normal that he is seeing things, especially at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never normal: It's never normal to "see things". There are several possible explanations: medical disease, medicine or drug side-effect, brain injury, etc. The situation should be evaluated by your father's physician. Nighttime visual hallucinations are often have a medical cause. Usually there is effective treatment available to stop these misperceptions.
