What Causes Drowsiness In Elderly People?
my 87yr old mother is sleepy all the time and she is not typically like that, usually she doesn t sleep well enough, also she seems as if she is high on something but I can not figure out what she could have taken to make her act that way, my concern is - could she have had a stroke in the night and not show any facial changes? she is also stumbling around and has fallen twice in the last 36hrs.
