Mild Narcolepsy?

Would mild narcolepsy prevent me from joining the FBI / Secret Service and or from being a field agent? I haven't actually been diagnosed for it (afraid to be labled) but I'm not even positive I have it....pretty sure though.

I am a narcoleptic, and while I haven't looked into the government/military job restrictions, I know that narcoleptics are protected under the americans with disabilities act, so technically your employer has to make reasonable accommodations if nessecary.
But for government agencies like that, I think that all depends on the doctor that does the physical exam, at least in the military.
