What Could Excess Sleepiness Indicate?
My mother was diagnosed in 07 with CHF and also received a stent due to blood clots. She also has type 2 diabetes.She has been asleep for over 24 hours now. When I try to wake her she just says she is tired and wants to sleep. Her doctors office has no after hour number to contact an on call. Should I allow her to just rest or insist she go to the hospital?
