Common Signs of Narcolepsy You Need to Know

Uncontrolled Movements

In adults and teenagers, narcolepsy is often related to a sudden loss of muscles or weakness, usually in response to strong emotion or laughter. In most cases, the bodies of these people tend to lose strength or go limp. However, narcolepsy in children might lead to some uncontrolled movements, especially in their bodies and faces. These include body swaying, a strange tongue, and mouth movements, grimacing, and raised eyebrows. You often notice those signs when the kids feel strong emotions. Since they are a quite obvious symptom of narcolepsy, visit your doctor as soon as possible to seek medical treatments. [4]
