Hello,
It is not related to hysterectomy. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. You can try drugs like zolpodem for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
