I'm seriously terrified.
In June 2016 I had a strange episode where I was washing up and then it was like my brain fell asleep - I didn't fall down, but I remember nothing until a few moments later. My partner was trying to speak to me during this time and couldn't rouse me. I then came to and felt very detached. This happened again on Sep 3rd 2016 and this week it has happened 3 times. Yesterday it happened when I was on a bus, I looked at my phone and the next thing I know I've zoned out completely, missed my bus stop and remember nothing that happened in the last few minutes. When I come to I feel very confused and disorientated for at least 10 - 15 minutes.
This morning I went to see my GP who is that concerned that she has emailed my information across to the neurologists at the hospital.
I'm terrified I have a brain tumour and what I'm having are 'absence seizures' as I genuinely have no memory of what happened for a least a minute or two. My depersonalisation and derealisation has been absolutely dreadful since this first happened in June and I am so so scared this is due to a problem with my brain and not my anxiety.
- I had an MRI brain scan on Sep 11 last year. So 13 months ago - this was for unrelated concerns, and it was clear.
- I had an eye test after the first strange seizure type episode in June of this year and it was clear.
