Is getting excessively giddy for no apparent reason cataplexy?
No

Oh good.
The primary manifestation of cataplexy is muscular weakness/limpness, in response to strong emotion

So, what would my original statement be, if a condition at all?
Where is the conversion here? This is not really fitting with what is meant by Conversion DO, proper.
To answer your last question though, possibly didinhibition to due to frontal lobe injury/disease (most likely orbitofrontal area)?.....one possibility. Inappopriate laughter is also seen in many schizophrenics and/or in individuals responding to internal stimuli. Yet an other possibility.

I'm not sure. My 5 year old daughter is "giddy" sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with her.
I used to get giddy every once in awhile, as do several people I know. It occurred less & less with me as I got older.
Being giddy in and of itself, isn't a mental illness.

I may have dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, according to my Mom and a psychologist specializing in ASD; I also have ataxia, which is probable due to that as well.
Since it's now clear that this thread involves a personal medical condition, I'm closing it. SDN is not for medical advice. Please consult your personal physician.
