Is narcolepsy related to excessive yin in human body?

Not important, not affecting the overall situation

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder with unknown causes. It is characterized by recurrent and uncontrollable sleep during the day, including cataplexy and night sleep disorder, and some patients are accompanied by sleep paralysis and hallucinations. Its etiology is related to the following factors. First, the specific loss of secretory neurons in the lateral hypothalamus is the characteristic pathological change of this disease. Second, it is related to the susceptibility of multiple genes. Third, environmental factors. Fourth, it is related to immune response. Fifth, it is found that human leukocyte antigen is closely related to narcolepsy, which is related to the increased susceptibility to narcolepsy. Sixth, infection factors and strong psychological pressure may promote the early onset of narcolepsy.

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder with unknown causes, and its clinical manifestations are daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, sleep paralysis and sleep hallucination. At present, the cause of narcolepsy is not clear, and there is a genetic tendency. The prevalence rate of patients' first-degree relatives is 10~40 times that of normal people. Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder associated with rapid eye movement. There is no non-rapid eye movement during sleep, and the sudden insertion of rapid eye movement leads to daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Clinically, those involved in hypothalamic reticular structure and midbrain gray matter coverage can show sleep attacks and cataplexy attacks. In recent years, with the decrease of orexin concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, the specific loss of orexin neurons in lateral hypothalamus is considered as the pathological mechanism of narcolepsy cataplexy.

Narcolepsy is a syndrome with unclear etiology, which is characterized by abnormal sleep tendency at the same time, including excessive sleepiness during the day, restless sleep at night and pathological relapse. This unexplained sleep disorder is mainly manifested as: long-term decreased alertness and paroxysmal irresistible sleep. Most patients have one or more other symptoms at the same time, including cataplexy, sleep paralysis and sleep hallucination, so it is also called tetralogy of narcolepsy.
