Okay, so i'm 16 years old and a female. I have been having these weird "episodes" that have been occurring for a few years now. When I have these things, I start to remember certain dreams, and memories, and everything seems extremely familiar like it has happened before (deja vu), when people speak to me I hear them but I don't really understand what they are saying. These episodes are really intense.After I have one I forget conversations I have had during. They last about 20-30 seconds. Afterwards the back of my head hurts, and my head overall feels really heavy, and like its stuffed with cotton. When I have these they don't hurt, but they are really scary, and just feel "bad". I went to the doctor, and got blood tests, an EEG, and an MRI, however nothing came up. I am about to go see a neurologist, but I really just want to have an idea to what I might have.
