00:00A video captured a woman falling down the street while she was walking.
00:08Fortunately, a man saw her and asked for help from her grandfather.
00:16Here in Bambang, Bulacan, Bulacan, we found the woman in the video.
00:22She is Jam Melanie Tarega, 25 years old and a college student.
00:27Jam's story...
00:29One day, I was walking home from school.
00:34Suddenly, I fell down.
00:38But I didn't know that it happened to me.
00:42I just woke up and I was already at home.
00:45Jam admitted that this is not new to her.
00:49In fact, there are episodes where she suddenly fell down.
00:53Actually, when I was still in high school, I almost died in school.
00:58Then it started again in 2021, which is very alarming.
01:03Because even when I cook, I collapse.
01:05In the anxiety of Jam's parents, they consulted a specialist.
01:10We got a check-up.
01:12First, in the cardiologist, everything was normal.
01:16Then we went to the neurologist.
01:18Our first neurologist told us that it was a seizure disorder.
01:23Then we got a second opinion.
01:25This is where we learned that she has narcolepsy.
01:29Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder
01:32where a person has uncontrolled excessive daytime sleepiness.
01:38So this is a condition that affects the sleep and awakening of a person.
01:43People with narcolepsy can also have cataplexy
01:48or sudden loss of muscle power or suddenly weaken and collapse.
01:53The exact mechanism of narcolepsy is still unknown.
01:57But this is a so-called combination of environmental and genetic factors.
02:03To reduce Jam's uncontrolled sleep,
02:07her doctor advised her to start a healthy lifestyle.
02:10Just exercise to avoid stress.
02:14Lifestyle modifications.
02:16So we need to follow the food that is prohibited or must be avoided,
02:22such as caffeine, alcohol, or anything that can affect our sleep and wake cycle.
02:29Jam is now being guided to take medicines that are prescribed to her.
02:35Her doctor also recommended that she undergo a sleep study
02:38to better assess her condition.
02:42A sleep study is one of the things that can be done
02:45to diagnose sleep problems, not just narcolepsy or cataplexy.
02:51This can help to observe the response of your body,
02:57your heart, your brain, while you are sleeping.
03:00Here are some more tips from the doctor.
03:02First, we need to make sure that your illness is just narcolepsy.
03:07So we advise to consult experts,
03:12especially sleep specialists, neurologists, or other experts in the field of sleep medicine.
03:18For people with narcolepsy, let's not be ashamed of this disease.
03:22It needs to be discussed in the workplace, in schools, because it can happen anytime.
03:27Meanwhile, you can see in this video the two women walking
03:32when one of them also lost consciousness.
03:35Fortunately, many people saw and helped them.
03:40According to the woman who died in the video, Sherlyn Ariones,
03:44this also happened to her several times.
03:47Whenever she gets stressed and tired,
03:50Sherlyn was diagnosed with Hyperventilation Syndrome or HVS.
03:57In Hyperventilation Syndrome,
03:59you breathe too fast,
04:02which causes a rapid decrease of carbon dioxide in our body.
04:07And what will be the result of that?
04:09You will have different symptoms,
04:11for example, numbness,
04:13or your mouth will be full,
04:15your fingers or hands will be stiff,
04:18or you will lose consciousness.
04:20Doc Paul's advice is not to attack HVS.
04:24We need to be calm.
04:26Because one of the common factors here is anxiety.
04:30So we need to be calm when this happens.
04:33If we can instruct the patient or the person who has hyperventilation
04:38to use a paper bag,
04:40or make this position in his nose and mouth,
04:44and breathe slower.
04:46For now, Sherlyn's treatment continues.
04:49Dear friends,
04:51just be calm.
04:53Breathing is important.
04:54And if you feel any discomfort in your body,
04:57consult a doctor immediately.
