Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder in which the patient experiences overwhelming and uncontrollable daytime drowsiness, either with or without cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone). Unfortunately, there is no cure for narcolepsy, but at Wahid Medical, we can help you manage your symptoms through the use of medication and recommended lifestyle changes.
Additionally, those with narcolepsy often suffer from other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and insomnia. Although the exact causes of narcolepsy are still not well understood, it is likely due to a combination of factors including brain chemistry or genetics.
