I have short periods of time when I stare off into space, I am somewhat aware of what is going on around me but cannot respond. The absence seizures are what it presents as but I am neither a child nor a juvenile and have never been diagnosed with seizures, these episodes can sometimes be very distracting in driving or working.
Hello, Your best course of action is to see a neurologist as soon as possible and have them do a good neurological examination followed by appropriate testing which likely should include an MRI of the brain with a Seizure protocol as well as an EEG and then, blood work of a routine nature for electrolytes, urinalysis, and etcetera. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
