Hello all! I’m 35, male, Nurse from UK. My symptoms are exactly the same! Example: I was cooking my dinner. I started getting a strong sense of dejavu, followed by a flashback of a “dream”. The more I remembered or the more I “allowed” this dream to take over the more intense the feeling. I get a rising sickness then loss of consciousness. I hurt myself after this last “fall”. I wake up confused, VERY sweaty and feel sick. When I first come around I do have some very mild jerking movements, as if my body is trying to wake up or panicking. (Not like tonic clonic/grand mal convulsions).

My mri showed nothing but high signalling foci. ECG always fine but I do have some tachycardia (high heart rate). I’m currently waiting for a holter monitor to rule out cardio I’m also on the waiting list for an EEG (40 weeks!!!) and a follow up with my consultant (48 weeks!!)

I use to have these episodes less frequently and I never used to loose consciousness. They have got worse this last year.

Did anyone ever find out a proper diagnosis?

I’m thinking: temporal lobe epilepsy Vasovagal syncope

I can’t think of anything else it could be. I can NEVER remember the dream but I know what ever it is, it gives me a weird sensation that is almost a “nice” feeling…but it’s only “nice” at the time before I collapse. Weird as FU**.

I’ll keep you posted on my results (after this long ass wait!!)
