My father having uncontrollable sleep problems and does not want to go to the doctor at all! need suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generic appraisal: Not sure which sleep disorder is occurring, but he could be having problems with alcohol, medication reactions, but also sleep apnea. I am reluctant to have you scare him, but do point out the risk of daytime sleepiness causing an auto accident, the cognitive issues resulting in financial mistakes and loss of money, the personality changes that could affect family relationships. Be kind & patient.
