Could Medicines Taken For Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Diabetes And Atherosclerosis Cause Anxiety And Restlessness?

Hello My mother has blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and atheroscelerosus. She is on so many medication. Recently she developped this restlessness like anxiety disorder and doctors gave her lexotanil 3 mg per day. Now she sleeps often but still is asking us to move her from one side to one side every 15 mn. She has refused to walk as she claims that she is in pain. What do you advise?

Sometime due to chronic illness few patients get depressive symptoms. It seems ur mother may have underline depression. Lexotanil is a sleeping pills. With this ur mother would get sound sleep but it will not help to decrease negative thoughts due to depression. Consult a psychiatrist to rule our depression.

Thanks
