My Mom suddenly goes into prolonged sleep with weakness. Can anyone help?

Narcolepsy was my first thought. Surely, they've checked for stroke, so I'd ask about narcolepsy testing. I hope that they find out what this is. Not knowing is worse than knowing almost anything.
Take care,
Carol

Has your mother been checked for narcolepsy? People with narcolepsy fall asleep without warning, anywhere, anytime.

Have a sleep study done. She will have to stay overnight. At 60 yrs. this might be more of a mini stroke. In any event, her symptoms are not "normal" and keep trying to find out why she has these symptoms.

I suggest a doctors visit.

When I encounter sudden general behavior changes my first thought is another UTI and I grab a sample in test with a test strip. Cheap and quick. If test is positive I call our PCP tell her TA (test analysis) strip was positive and she knows from past UTI's to send RX and after a few pills behavior returns to pre-UTI
Bought a jar of test strips, if ADW drops one no big deal. Been a major help since she gets UTI's often.

I bought from Amazon:
Phinex 10 Parameter (10SG) Urinalysis Reagent Test Strips, 100 Strips/Bottle
by Estwarkim
Checks for urinary tract infection, kidney function, carbohydrate metabolism, liver function and more
Easy to use, just dip and read
Fast results with easy to read color chart

Get a good examine on her such, labs, sleep study, recheck for stroke. Another CAT of brain.

i dont think so she has been. but she was checked by neuro physician and also got a test like eeg which was okie. But i can talk to doc about it.

It could be her electrolytes are low, sodium and potassium especially...

How about her blood sugar, is she Diabetic???

My 94-year-old mother has had mini-strokes and sleeps most of the time. An assistant living staff turns her in her bed about every 2-3 hours.

Definitely go to a sleep clinic for over-night testing.
