Strange Deja Vu, followed by nausea, dizziness and confusion

[Unregistered]

This was happening to me a lot lately - exactly like you described. I'd suddenly remember a dream, or part of a dream, and then feel really queasy, like I was going to throw up. Nothing like that had happened to me before a month or two ago.

I decided I'd try avoiding aspartame (which was in my Orbit chewing gum) because it has been linked to seizures and migraines. It's been 3 days, and haven't had any dream flashbacks followed by nausea. I hope this helps.

I used to have a lot of episodes like you folks are describing. I haven't had any in 6 years since I started healing. I can tell you what healed my situation.

I just had the same thing happen to me twice today and I've had it before. I googled it and came to this page. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that goes through these. Its as if I begin dreaming the dream I had the night before again and I get all dizzy. Although I don't usually get a headache afterward. Its weird. I feel like I'm going to die and I try to stay focused and push it out of my head and othertimes I just let it pass. Then it just goes away.

I have been experiencing this for the past 6 months, sometimes during the day at work but 9 times out of 10 its just at the point of falling asleep. I have deja vu feeling, then feel light headed and nauseas, need to stand up and take deep breaths until it passes. Then afterwords I cannot recall the thought which triggered the deja vu.

damm. i thought i was the only one that that was happening to. stong deja vu from the smallest thing.like a sound or something you see. i got very dizzy and got sick most of the times. i learned to control it a little more over time. when i started to get it i concentrated. its unexplainable.

it sounds like a seizure from epilepsy to me. there are many different types of seizure, and it doesn't have to be collapsing and involuntary jerking. i suggest that you see a doctor and get yourself tested if you haven't yet.

Does anyone have any other idea what this could be besides siezures? I have been seeing a neurologist for a year, but none of the tests they did showed anything ( I can't make them happen). I have them about twice a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. They put me on Topamax and 3 1/2 months went by without a single episode. I thought I had my answer! But, the dr. told me he didn't think it was siezures even though the medicine was working. So I'm back to square one. I quit taking the medicine because the side effects were horrible ( tingling, wierd thoughts, sleep paralysis) and now I am waiting for my episodes to come back.

I've been having them for 13 years. Like you all I get wierd deja vu, like a dream that may have happened but I can't remember afterward. I also get the nausea, about 10 seconds after the deja vu feeling.

There are also other feelings that you all may have if you concentrate on understanding your episodes. For instance, I get a burning sensation from under my right eye down my arm, my hearing goes dim, my salivary glands act up, and sometimes afterwards (depending on the severity) I'll get extreme headaches starting at the back of my head and working its way up.

And like a lot of you I think it's a pretty cool feeling (rules out panic attacks). I've come to realize I'll never have an answer, and I'm okay with that, they're a part of me, and I'll have them the rest of my life without knowing. It's so good seeing that so many other people know what I'm feeling!

So is the doctor a quack, and they are siezures, or is there something else it could be?

Yes I do. If you have a bunch of other symptoms it could be active b12 deficiencies like I had. If it is that , the podds of you finding the right brand of the right type taken the right way to be effective are more than 1000 to 1 against you. If you are interested in the details, let me know.

wow, im finding it strange that this many people are experiencing this. i always thought i was just a freak.

I used to get these episodes quite often, triggered by all kinds of things but always with that feeling of intense deja vu. the last episode though was probably 3-4 years ago now, and i only decided to research it because i heard a song that used to always trigger it and it had no effect now (made me kind of curious as to what it was).

the episodes seemed to come to a climax and then stop around a time that i had a massive incapacitating headache when i was in 7th or 8th grade (incapacitating as in i spent 3-4 hours laying in bed in fetal position, trying to scream but no sound coming out). I am not sure if they stopped immediately before or after and whether it was days or months before or after but it was around the same time.

there is also a history of epilepsy in my family (my uncle has suffered from it since the age of 16 or so)

anyway, should i go have a doctor run some tests, or should i be safe since there has been nothing for a few years?
