Thanks for your concern. I do not want to admit this problem to the doc because it will result in DVLC monitoring my driving licence at regular intervals. I am sensible about my driving limitations and always use the bus for trips of more than a few miles. I need my car to get to the bus stop and for visits to doc, dentist, chiropodist etc.
My doc runs a well woman clinic where I can ask for the health checks without revealing my problem, so will do that.
I suspect that this problem is inherited from my mother who did not have daytime naps until her old age but used to 'pass out' when under stress.(cataplexy- an extreme version of the same disorder)
