In adults, blood pressure is considered normal if the top number (systolic pressure) is between 90 and 120 and the bottom number (diastolic) is between 60 and 80. There are several classes of blood pressure medications. Each class lowers blood pressure in a different way.
For other uses, see Narcolepsy (disambiguation). Narcolepsy is a long-term neurological disorder that involves a decreased ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Symptoms include periods of excessive daytime sleepiness that usually last from seconds to minutes and may occur at any time.
Many people who suffer from narcolepsy do not realize excessive daytime sleepiness is a symptom, because daytime sleepiness in their mind is not an indicator of disease. There are other symptoms associated with narcolepsy as well, such as cataplexy and sleep paralysis.
