Had AVR replaced 2 weeks ago. Went into AFib and discovered a stomach ulcer. Fixed ulcer and put in defribullator. Home now and feel decent but CAN'T sleep at all. Wide awake all night and don't feel tired at all. Doctors think it's mental but I don't think. Any ideas suggestions since driving me crazy.

Terry Tannenbaum Hey Glen, happy that the replacement part is over and done but sorry to hear about the Afib and sleepless nights. I'm not a physician but it could be stress related. I take diazapam (Valium) to help get me back to sleep in the middle of the night. It works in minutes and a small dose lasts 3 to 4 hours. People say it's addicting but I don't agree. You can also try meditation, music, caffeine free tea.

Klara Čičić Dear Glenn, I, too, take small dose of diazepam from time to time when insomnia is unbearable. First I try other things, ofcourse, commons recommendations, but when nothing is helping...... We have all been through alot! We should give ourselfs a break, and help with medication when we can. Ofcours we won't misuse it and we will follow doctor's orders. But sometimes it's better to take a medication - it's less risky then to struggle and be under such stresa. Sleep deprivation is major risk factor when it comes to Afib! Try to rest. I hope you find a solution.

Patsy Stewart Sleepless nights are the worst!! Have you tried taking a Tylenol before going to bed? The doctor suggested this, and sometimes it helps. Hopefully, this will pass and you’ll begin to get a good night’s rest. Don’t dwell on the part where the doctor thinks it’s mental. You have enough going on in your life without getting that on your mind. Prayers that you have a peaceful sleep tonight.~❤️
