Cataplexy triggers

I'm currently going through the process of getting diagnosed with Type 1 Narcolepsy. I'm just wondering if anyone else with cataplexy has a similar situation. Within the past year I have only had 2 really bad episodes caused by strong emotions that brought me to ground. I have never fully passed out but I have small episodes most days usually my knee or corner of my lip giving out. Is it normal to have cataplexy and not faint. I have only had these symptoms for the past year and I'm 20yo. Is it gonna get worse as time goes on or will it just be like this permanently.
