Sleep Disorder

2020-01-07 19:35:59
My mother can not breathe by nose while sleeping. Her mouth inadvertently opens and she breathes through mouth. Due to this, her mouth dries up and she has to drink a lot of water. As a result of this, she uses the toilet 3 to 4 times during night. This is taking a toll on her body. She is a government employee, she doesn't feel great in the morning. Her body aches a lot due to this. Please suggest about this medical problem.
