Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm 58 male. My body is slim and toned from exercise all of my life. My habits are fairly healthy. Since I was a teen I can not stay awake during the day. I pass out in meetings always. I space off at my desk. Mostly my faults are overlooked because I am very good and smart at what I do with computer programming etc. I've suffered depression when a teen and general anxiety in mid-life but for the most part I am happy and healthy. Recently I just got over a 30 some year HCV problem by the new medications. Anyway, I can not stay awake unless I am busy at work. It is not once in a while. It is always. I can fall asleep just by closing my eyes or reading or listening. What can my problem really be? This is really chronic.
