I agree that narcolepsy is a possibility, but narcoleptics do not tend
to hit the ground, they catch themselves before that happens. Do not
exclude other possibilities such as exercise-induced cardiac
arrythmias or other cardiac disease; you would need to perform an ecg
and echocardiography at the time of the episode, also get blood
samples at that time to evaluate transient electrolyte abnormalities.
