Deja Vu leading to sick feeling

Topic: Diagnostic Dilemmas and Testing

Hi, I'm a 22 year old female. For the past two months I've been having bad déjà vu episodes with a nauseous feeling. I can't concentrat on anything other than snapping back to reality. They last about 30 seconds. If I'm driving, I have to pull over. At first I thought they were memories but now I know they're not. Sometimes just looking at someone's face triggers it. Does anybody know what's wrong with me?

I only started having mine after I had my son, who is autistic with no epileptic activity. I asked many doctors and they all said I was fine, but I know I am not. The 1st one I had my son was about six months old.

I just started experiencing this and within the past month, it's happened 3 times. It's deja vu and I feel extremely naseaous. When it happened 3 days ago, I felt sick, I instantly had the urge to pee and my back got cold. I was off for the rest of the day. Felt depressed and out of it. Nothing specific has triggered them other than random activities. I really wish I knew what was causing this and how to prevent it. Some of you have had it way worse and I'm so sorry!!

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I am currently 17 and i have had "Deja Vu" for about 4 years. It's this wired sickening feeling. I can be anywhere or doing anything and suddenly some things become familiar, like i've seen it a film or in my dreams, and then i become light headed followed with nausea, it can last as long as 1min. Afterwards i have a light yet bad headache. I like in a country that isn't known to have the best doctors, so i'd prefer not to go, 'cause they're stupid enough to tell me "there's nothing wrong with you" or just simply laugh. For health care people tend to travel abroad. It's not so serious that i think i should travel to just get a simple scan, as i've noticed hundreds of people online seem to have the same problem.according to research it maybe "Temporal Lobe Epilepsy" and it seems to be very common.Anyone else find something else?
