Deja vu, confusion episodes...

I have been experiencing these "episodes" for over a year now.
I am waiting for an EEG and neurologist appt.
They occur every month or sometimes twice a month but not exactly.  
Each episode lasts for approx 1 min And they occur every hour or so for 12 hours +/-.
I experience: deja-vu, detachment, dreamy, can not understand what people are saying, as if they are speaking a different language, I can not say much. My chest feels tight and tingly. Seem weak and depressed afterward for a little while.  
They happen anytime and anywhere even at night. It does not matter weather I am working, driving, exercising or relaxing.
The only thing that I have found on the internet that sounds close to my symptoms is "psychic seizures"
Can anyone tell me anything that might help me?

this happens to me too only not only do I feel the deja vu, sometimes its completely different things I'm thinking about, "memories" quoted because I don't exactly recall what I remember the things in my head from... sometimes its a completely new thing I don't remember happening so I feel its some kind of dream I'm remembering for the first time. Sometimes the memory is something I do remember doing but its always triggered randomly and quickly, but no matter what the memories going on in my head are from I always get a really sttrange headache that Ihavent ever felt before. It has made me very sickly feeling at some times. These have been happening to me for a while now and the closest thing iver ever come across was related to epileptic seizures and I've read little of psychic seizures as well, I'm a really open minded person and I've always believed something bigger and crazy is at play because of it, if that sounds anything like what happens to you feel free to hit me up

Well i used a lot that term.  And is part Of my vocabulary. I used to read a lot and also magazines or cientific topics.

One feeling; "I already passed through this", "I already live it", "i already dream this"...
So this feeling to me makes me think that what im leaving is part Of my destiny and that was meant to be.. Or at the same time that my actions then aré correct.

This feeling (about dreaming is so strong) that sometimes i would like to be so patient and constant and récord my dreams.  But at the end I don't need it.
This explanation is part of a myth or spiritual believe in some cultures. (tribus)

Now some of the scientific versions about this is that the brain is a muscle and at some point the muscle needs to relax.. Or rest.. And of course cannot stop functions.  
Now I notice it can happen more often if I don't rest ( long period of times).  
You live sometime thAt just happened... Your reality overlaps for those milliseconds ... So that takes away the magic.  









So I will say that if is affecting your performance or not letting you do your normal actuvities then to yes check with a neurologist. They have easy tests to determine if you fall into just healthy person.
