Why does mind go blank suddenly and hear loud voices?
Patient: This happened once or twice when i was 10, and just happened again recently.What happens it, out of nowhere my mind will suddenly go blank.then for about 4-5 minutes, everything around me seems to be going faster, and all sounds seem to be much louder. When people talk it sounds much more urgent, and even if i lay down in a silent bedroom i can still feel it, that everything is moving faster, and i can hear every little sound louder, then it would stop and go back to normal.What is this? Doctor: HiI had gone through your query.I guess you need to go for investigation.Because og its episodic nature it could be seizure phenomena.EEG means electroencephalogram is require to evaluate this.It could be look like seizure phenomena mostly it can be absence seizure of partial seizure.MRI with epilepsy protocol will be useful.Medicines like levetracitam.valproate etc can be useful once it diagnosed properly.Still have a query then feel free to ask.Happy to help you.Thank you.
