What Causes The Sudden Onset Of Mental Disorientation?
I am having some kind of weird incidents. For example last night we were playing cards when all of a sudden out of nowhere I became unresponsive to my husband a friends. I was there in body but was just kind of staring and did not respond when asked a question. So they decided to stop game. About 5 mins passed. I had moved to chair and was watching TV. As I kind of came out of it I was asking who won game...I completely have no memory of that 5 mins or so. This type of incident has happened several times. My doctor did Cat scan and EEG and no problems. On Alzheimer s test did better this year than last. I am very scared because we cannot get answers. My doctor is stumped

Hi,
Your symptoms most probably pointing towards absent seizures. You need to get a 24 hrs EEG to track your abnormal discharge while having an attack. You didn't mentioned your age, so definitely consult a neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
