How To Treat Stress?

My Mom has been shouting out in her sleep...stressed -calling for example: Will somebody call the police ?? Really creepy. Can you help me understand this or is there anything I can do to be of help to her? She takes a pain medication (hydrocodone(sp)) but other than that ...nothing for pain.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Whatever she does while sleeping, may be due to sedative effect of hydrocodone. Better to change the pain killer. After that, she would improve on her own. In case, such symptoms persist, then you can take help of a psychiatrist and physician for proper diagnosis and management.

Thanks
