Re: Please diagnose my sister

Does she have afternoon crashes? Only at 7:30 pm, and then she falls asleep a few times a week at 7:30 and sleeps the whole nite until morning. Her sleep is very good, and she sleeps like a log, heavy sleeper.

Does she have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep?
No trouble.

Does she have an exagerated startle response? Yes, but not as pronounced as me!

Does she have a reduced ability to handle stess? Yes, definitely, her whole life.

Does she have anxiety and panic attacks? No attacks but she says she sometimes feels some anxiety (no nausea from it though)

Apathy? YES

Salt cravings? No

Chocolate cravings? No

Lack of perspiration? (dehydration) No

Low blood pressure? No (she was just at the dr. and they said it was normal 123/66)

Try the pupil dilation test on her. (They did it at her dr. and the dr. didn't say anything was wrong.)

**She is getting surgery soon, which is a stressor that could fully flesh out latent AF, so she is trying to stay as healthy as possible before the surgery.
