Sleep disorder and tiredness

[Neeta A]

I am a 50 yr.old male.I have been a very active person but suddenly I am not sleeping properly,the sides of both my hips are paining. I feel tired most of the time and am having diltazem hydrochloride 90 mg once a day for my blood pressure( readings hover between-140-85 to 90) and salmeterol and fluticasone propionate accuhaler for asthma. My blood sugar levels are now 50 while fasting and 90 after 2 hours of breakfast. What am I suffering from and is this sleep disorder anything to do with my medications?

Hello.

In the middle of all these medicines and symptoms, do you feel less energetic ? Are there any symptoms like... loss of interest, sadness ? How is your appetite ?

We have to find out the reason why you feel tired most of the time !! And your sleep problem may have a different root.

Hi,

You are probably not able to sleep well as you are in pain. Please take OTC painkillers to relieve your hip pain but if it persists please consult a orthopedician.These cannot be a sideeffect of the medications that you are taking.Take care!

those medicines are ones that friends of mine take and they don't complain of sleepiness.  if your hips keep you from sleeping well, talk to your doctor about your hips.
