Could Drowsiness All Through The Day Be Due To Vitamin Deficiency?

My husband dozes all the time during the day. Besides all the sleep apnea, nasal problems, etc that could be a cause, could it be a lack or could he be deficicient in a vitamin, mineral or hormone. He is 68, a little overweight and a heavy smoker. Being a General Manager, there is stress. I do not notice any sleep problems. 6-7 hrs a nite. Thank you. Jo

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think he should check the glucose levels. Diabetes may be a cause of his symptoms. Test fasting glucose levels, post prandial and HBA1C.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
