Scary symptoms

I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed with narcolepsy or IH and this process has been exhausting on its own. I am a very anxious and nervous person by default.

I was in a car accident about a month or so ago, not high speed but my car was totaled and it was not my fault. I mention this in case it's related to my new symptoms. As I've gotten older more obvious symptoms have appeared starting in high school until now ranging from being tired all the time to hallucinating to dreaming incredibly vivid scary dreams nearly every time j go to sleep and I never sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. I'm literally exhausted.

Recently I started having this thing happen where when I stand up and go to walk from sitting or laying that my vision goes black and I can't use my hands and now my legs have begun to buckle beneath me causing me to fall. I of course googled it and Google said low blood pressure but none of the remedies have worked. I'm just stuck waiting for my doctor's appointment next week and honestly my anxiety is through the roof rn.

I guess I just wanted to come here and see if that is what cataplexy feels like to anyone? Hoping it's just blood pressure cause that's way easier managed but the last thing I need is another diagnosis and more meds in my life. I don't have insurance so the only thing I'm waiting for is my injury settlement so I can afford insurance for the sleep tests. My doctor feels strongly that I need it so I can get one meds and try and live a better and less exhausting life.

Sorry I just felt like I needed to vent somewhere and maybe seek advice on how you guys deal with your symptoms when you couldn't get meds approved yet and maybe that will help me get through till this period of my life is over and I can hopefully get the help I need.
