Hi,

You are diagnosed with hepatitis C years ago. There is available treatment for this disease but there are many things which need to be consider first of all what is the status of your liver. Actually, hepatitis C effects your liver and then there are many stages in simple words we need to check that is your liver is having cirrhosis (shrinking of liver).

Then need different laboratory investigation to check the type of hepatitis C then we can treat it with antiviral drugs but it changes with your type of hepatitis C.

If you are sleeping more that can be an indication of its complication but not necessarily need to ask few questions. Do you have constipation and does your belly size increased? Are you taking any drugs?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Waqqas Shaheen,
