What Causes Difficulty In Falling Asleep With Tremors In Body?
My brother has been complaining that he can't fall asleep at night and gets up in the middle of the night and feel like he had a electric shock, and when he gets up in the morning, he is shaking. Doctors prescribed him nexito ls and betacap 20, what could be the reason of him feeling this way, and he has been told that he has depression. Please help with an answer
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. The symptoms like difficulty in falling asleep, poor non refreshing sleep, sudden waking up with electric shock sensations, shakiness etc could occur due to anxiety and depression and need proper evaluation.
He has been advised to take Nexito which is Escitalopram and is a SSRI drug. The drug is a good anti anxiety and anti depressant drug. Betacap is Propranolol and the drug is a beta blocker drug used to control symptoms of anxiety. In my opinion he is on right medicines and continue to give him medicines as per prescription and this will surely help him to come out of depression and anxiety. Betacap should be used for control of uncontrollable symptoms like shakiness, trembling etc.
Consult his doctor if symptoms become worse.
Thanks, Hope this helps. Take care
