00:00Why does she keep passing out?
00:30Chelsea suffers from a rare condition called cataplexy, which means every single time
00:39she laughs, she passes out, no matter what she's doing.
00:51Though she tries to live normally, her followers grew worried after she announced her pregnancy,
00:56questioning how she could manage motherhood with her condition, to which she responded
01:01saying, if I feel it coming on, I have a little bit of time to make sure baby is okay, and
01:06I have a lot of support around me.
01:23This usually happens when the brain loses orexin, a chemical that keeps us awake.
01:28This usually occurs because the immune system mistakenly destroys the brain cells that make
01:32it.
01:45One of the challenges of this condition is that instead of a 10-minute quick snack break,
01:49it could take her an hour.
02:08Since her followers were quite curious about her condition, she decided to speak up.
02:12What does it feel like when it's happening?
02:15The easiest way to explain it is you just feel really lightheaded.
02:19Almost dizzy.
02:20Just really weak.
02:21Like, you haven't been hungover and just really weak, floppy, and look at that, and your head
02:25kind of feels a bit fuzzy, and then you go.
02:29You just freaking go.
02:31You ain't got no control over it.
02:33Have I ever met anyone else with it?
02:35No.
02:36I haven't.
02:37Not yet.
02:38I have a lot of messages from people who have it, and it's nice to talk to them because everyone
02:42is different.
02:43You get it from different emotions.
02:44People get triggered by different things.
02:46Another interesting thing to tell you guys is it has never happened when I've drunk.
02:51There's something about that stops it from happening, which is so weird.
02:56What emotions set it off?
02:58Obviously, laughter.
02:59Everyone needs to understand that it doesn't happen every time I laugh.
03:03Why?
03:04I don't know.
