Is Continuous Starring Without Knowledge Sign Of Stroke?
Yes. My coworker is 30 and we witness two episodes of him staring at a picture on the wall zoned out totally until we shook him. Again today we found om standing ocer a sink of running water starring at the cupboard with a water bottle open on the floor draining water. We yelled his name and brought in out of the trance but he remembered nothing. We are concerned and told him to see his Dr. ASAP. Could this be a stroke, or what?

Hello dear,
The narration seems to be related to absence seizure with transient cut off from surrounding without loss of posture. Further diagnosis require age of person, any other type of seizure, family history. I will advise you to consult a neurologist and undergo Mri and eeg. Treatment can be started after investigation.
Wishing you good health
