What kind of seizure?

Sat, 07/16/2016 - 00:19
I have TLE and have these quick episodes that will start with my mind going blank, can't focus on anything, my breathing slows down, I'll then stare or look around aimlessly and maybe tap my finger, while this is happening I can hear ppl talking to me but Im not able to absorb any info and I can still kind of respond one word answers but it's difficult and I feel a strong urge not to. After 20-45 secs it ends and I'll let out a big sigh. I usually remember what I was doing before the seizure but sometimes I need to be reminded. Anyone know what kind of seizures these are? Are these some sort of weird absence seizure?
