[edit] Cataplexy and Sound

Can cataplexy be caused by sound?


Possibly, if that sound triggers an intense emotion within a person. Cataplexy usually happens to people if they experience an emotion, ranging from mild to intense. When it first starts, it may only happen if you find something extremely funny or if you become angry or upset. If the condition worsens over time, it may happen during the feeling of any type of emotion. It may start happening in small term on its own, without even a trigger. My experience went this way. Others may be different.
