Have you tried speaking to a neurologist about cataplexy. It is a symptom of narcolepsy and its most prominent feature is the weakness (to varying degrees) in response to emotional stimuli. Laughing - particularly around loved ones - can have this effect.

This web site is not a substitute for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis of your vaso-vagal type symptoms.  Medical treatment and diagnosis is the only acceptable initial response to these serious symptoms since they might present from any number of life threatening and treatable illnesses. It is for you and your physician to rule out more serious illnesses; Please don't use this online forum as an alternative to getting responsible medical attention and being under the care of a physician for the duration of any unknown, suspected or dangerous vaso-vagal syndrome symptoms.
