Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

Your symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. More details are needed to help me through the diagnosis.
Are you conscious during these episodes of paralysis?
Do you suffer from any other medical conditions such as epilepsy?
Are these symptoms sporadic or continuous?
Cataplexy is characterized by sudden physical collapse, though the patient remains conscious. I recommend doing an electroencephalogram (EEG) to exclude this diagnosis.
I will be waiting for your response to be able to help you better.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
