The cause for narcolepsy? |
Hi. Can anyone please explain to me what causes narcolepsy? I have read and found the scientific technical theories of the causes, but I can't comprehend what it really means. Can someone please explain what the causes are to me in easily understood human terms? I have several experience for narcopsy. if you what to know how it gets triggered is that when someone with it gets excited or happy will fall asleep. (its hilarious with pets!) There was a horrible movie a few years ago called "My own private Idaho." The lead in that had nympholepsy and every time he got excited or panicked, he'd pass out. In that movie, he speculated that the cause of it was inbreeding. it's when a person has a problem with getting enough oxygen while sleeping or restricted breathing. it's a very serious condition and really not funny when they fall asleep involuntarily. it's very dangerous. some people have to sleep with a breathing apparatus at night which is not very comfortable. sometimes it can be corrected if you have a deviated septum but in a lot of cases they just have to live with it. note: a deviated septum is a bone deformity in the nose which in some cases is operable. |
