![]() I had them (undiagnosed) for 8 years until a civilian doc saw me and referred me. Mine was abnormal (thank you drunk driver). Even if the eeg is "normal" you really need to talk to a neuro. Now I don't feel like such a nut.Ī normal eeg is actually something a lot of people get. I will keep checking back to this discussion. She said my EEG looked normal though.so now what? She made me feel so much better when she said I am not the only one that experiences this and that it is related to seizures. I told the technician that it might sound weird but the only way I could describe it is to say it is like Deja Vu but a scary Deja Vu and a sick feeling in my stomach accompanied by dizziness and hot flash and pulse racing. My husband thought maybe it was because of menapause ( I am 48) and it was a hormone imbalance so I made an appt with the doc. It happens off and on all day and then the next day it is like nothing ever happened. I have never had anything like that again but about once a month now I have this Deja Vu thing. He gave me mouth to mouth and I came out of it. When I had my alcohol withdrawal seizure the person I was with said I kept asking him if he smelled that weird smell and then after that my eyes rolled back in my head and I started to turn blue. ![]() Now when I have these what I call "smell episodes" sometimes I am really scared and think I am having a stroke. I was told that I had a seizure about 2 years ago but I was a heavy drinker and thought it was just a withdrawal from alcohol. I can't explain what kind of a smell it is but I remember thinking the first time it happened that it is a familiar smell but I can't pin point what it is exactly. The episodes that are really strong are coupled with that smell. ![]() And sometimes I can hear someone yelling in my left ear. It then starts with a weird feeling in my stomach and then the strong sense of Deja Vu then dizziness and that sense that I am out of myself. Usually this would start after having a restless night sleep with disturbing dreams. ![]() I also thought I was just remembering a dream from the previous night. I have been having these episodes too but have not been able to describe them. My husband kept telling me to see a doctor but I thought a doc would think I was nuts if I walked in there and said I was having Deja Vu and smelling something weird. DOES ANYONE ELSE SMELL SOMETHING STRANGE WHEN THEY HAVE THESE DEJA VU EPISODES? ![]()
