Is It Normal To Sleep A Lot In Case Of CHF Patients?
Hello, my 80 year old mother was dx with CHF several years ago. Is it normal for her to sleep a lot? I've noticed over the past year or so that she seems to be sleeping more--but lately, it's even more so. She sleeps throught the night, gets up around 6AM and goes back to sleep for the night around 5PM and will get up to go to the bathroom but then goes back to bed right away or an hour or two later. Is that normal?

HI
Well come to HCM
In geriatric age group the sleep pattern little different, old person sleep more than the normal time of sleep and this is not related with what medical condition is there, here if your mother is having CHF then the sleep habit of her may not be related with the disease she has, looking to here age and her heart disease periodic medical examination is advisable, hope this helps.
