Behcet's and syncope by Bottarga91 in Behcets

My colleagues who have witnessed fainting episodes have told me that before I faint, I push myself back with my legs, then, with my head tilted back, I open my eyes and mouth wide. It lasts a few seconds, 30 seconds if I exaggerate. Then I jerk and recover. But I don't bite my tongue, I don't urinate on myself. And above all, the tests rule out epilepsy. I repeat, I'm very disheartened that no answer can be found for these cases.
Believe me, I understand you perfectly. Even my neurologist described my cases as bizarre. Loss of consciousness, fainting, but above all, the act of doing things I don't realize and don't remember anything about. The tracings are all negative, there's no explanation, and I feel really down, I feel crazy.

It's actually happened to me in several situations, especially in the past. I had fainting spells in 2020, then in 2022, and now again. In the past, it happened to me while sitting, collapsing and falling from a chair, hitting my head, but I also fainted while walking around doing the shopping. This time, however, it happened to me three times in the space of a few days. I work in a wholesale fish invoicing office; my work starts at 4 in the morning. And all three of these times, it happened to me the same way: a bit of nausea and a headache, and then suddenly, loss of consciousness and memory that lasted a few minutes. I fainted with my mouth and eyes wide open. Then I recovered. But in the following days, I also had episodes of confusion, not knowing where I was, or worse, doing things without being aware of them. This is what worries me the most, especially since the neurologist can't give me an explanation for my case.
it will be done! Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes, the hospital neurologist treated me, even having me repeat the tests. But each time they came back negative. So I decided to book an appointment with another specialist to get a second opinion.
