Health Query

Sometimes when I sleep a certain way or take a nap during the day I start to experience sleep paralysis. Sometimes hard to move and sometimes I get it multiple times. What’s the cause of this? Is there anything that helps with sleep paralysis? It’s scary sometimes and it feels like you’re dying or something.

Only his treating physician Can advise about traveling on his current health status. As he suggested to stop steroids means your husband is in better condition so you can travel but final opinion should be your physician. And do consider about follow up treatment in trichy. You can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment and further guidance.
