Hello Doctor,
I'm a 17-year-old girl, and my board exams are coming up soon. Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely sleepy all the time. I was taking Nexito 5 and Flumin tablets for some issues, but I stopped them because I thought they might be causing my sleepiness. However, even after stopping them, I still feel very drowsy. Could you suggest what might be causing this and what I can do to stay more alert and focused?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, Nexito is sometimes known to cause mild sleepiness, but since you’re still feeling drowsy even after stopping it, it’s important to rule out other possible causes. I recommend getting your blood tested for low magnesium levels, vitamin D deficiency, and also a thyroid function test. Deficiencies or imbalances in these can contribute to excessive sleepiness and fatigue. In the meantime, try maintaining a regular sleep schedule, staying hydrated, and incorporating some physical activity to help improve alertness. If your symptoms persist, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
Thanks
