Suggest Treatment For Disorientation, Confusion, Memory Loss And Insomnia

I feel detached from the present moment most of the time. sometimes severely disoriented, confused and wandering around aimlessly without any thought. lost! I feel sometimes fixated on myself - like I cannot see beyond myself. I feel like I have almost no sense of self, like I m nowhere. I feel like I m in a state of trauma. I have muscle tension, and have pretty bad insomnia. When I see things, I see it almost with a sense of, that is how my brain is seeing it . like I m observing my ability to see, hear, etc. Sort of like I m not in first person, rather in second. What is all of this??????

Hi,

Well, insomnia may be difficult to treat, but there are some methods which can be used. Treatment options include behavior and lifestyle changes, medicines, and complementary medicines.

You need to change your dietary habits and these include changing your sleep area or schedule, watching what and when you eat and drink, and being more active.

It's also important to keep regular bedtimes and wake times-7 days a week-and to try to avoid taking naps during the day.

Prescription sleep medicines may also help and include diazepam and similar medications. Melatonin is a supplement which may be of help as well. In severe cases, special testing is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
