I have been experiencing severe sleep disturbance since starting cough medicines acebrophylline with acetylcysteine and bilastine with montelukast for nineteen days. I sleep only two to three hours per night. I wake up around midnight and cannot fall back asleep. I have also developed acidity stomach discomfort and restlessness. Could these medicines be causing my insomnia and gastric symptoms?

Have a query?

It sounds frustrating to have your sleep disrupted like this, especially after starting new cough medicines. Acebrophyllin and Acetylcysteine can sometimes cause side effects such as restlessness or difficulty sleeping in some people.
If you experience any other symptoms like chest pain, severe breathlessness, or confusion, seek emergency care immediately. Otherwise, a specialist can help adjust your treatment to improve both your cough and sleep quality. If you want, I can explain more about how these medicines might affect sleep.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're having trouble sleeping. Could you please share your age and gender?
