Difficulty sleeping at night despite feeling sleepy may be due to insomnia or sleep apnea. A medical evaluation is recommended, especially if there is snoring, daytime sleepiness, or recent worsening of symptoms.

It could be obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). They don't breathe properly. Carbon dioxide (Co2) is not exhaled properly. Because of which they are drowsy all the time. It's very common in obese patients.
Need to rule out hypothyroidism as well.
Next Steps
check thyroid function tests

The combination of being unable to lie down comfortably, dozing off while sitting, and a very enlarged abdomen is a serious symptom pattern that needs urgent medical evaluation. The inability to lie flat (called orthopnea) is a classic warning sign of heart failure or significant respiratory disease. A very distended abdomen can indicate fluid accumulation inside (ascites) from heart failure, liver disease, or kidney problems. This is not something that can be evaluated or treated without seeing a doctor in person.
Next Steps
Please take him to a doctor or hospital today â do not wait. Tests including an ECG, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, and abdominal ultrasound will likely be needed. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Hello dear
We can’t diagnose the actual cause of this problem unless we know a detailed history of the pateint
You can share the investigations done and past illness if any
Consult for further evaluation
Sleeping while sitting up and feeling uncomfortable when lying flat can be a sign of breathing difficulty, commonly seen in conditions such as heart failure, chronic lung disease, or severe obesity. A markedly enlarged abdomen may be due to fluid accumulation (ascites), liver disease, obesity, or other abdominal conditions. These symptoms require proper medical evaluation and cannot be diagnosed accurately without examination.
