How is cataplexy diagnosed?
There is no test for it. You'll just have to have witnesses and/or a video recording of yourself that you can show a neurologist. Many people with proven Narcolepsy, will also show signs of Cataplexy. However, Cataplexy without Narcolepsy has been reported. Though it is very rare. I have Cataplexy without Narcolepsy. The neurologist came in and slammed the door behind him to see if he could provoke an attack. It worked for me, but it may not work with others.
