Have you ever heard of the condition called Narcolepsy?You and the others might want to check it out. It could have been triggered by Covid but it’s a well known condition for a long time. The symptoms are exactly as you describe yours to be. Good luck. @becky1024

I have a diagnosis of Narcolepsy Type 1 (with cataplexy). The sleepiness does sound a great deal like Narcolepsy but sodium doesn’t affect my daytime sleepiness (nothing does other than a nap.
I do want to share that I had Covid in 2020 and saw a drastic uptake in the number of Cataplexy episodes I have had. I am just getting over Covid and fear this happening again. I have noticed intensification with strobe lights, but so far have been able to breathe through these episodes instead of dropping. I have also experienced stomach pain and IBS sine most recent infection.
