Question : In the last two weeks I have passed out three times. Each time I do not know that anything has happened until I start to come around. Because I line alone I do not know howlong each. Of these episodes last. The only thing I know that when I wake up I am very confused and sometimes I think people that I know are there with me. I just know that I don't understand why these people will not help me. I am not even sure how long it takes me to become fully aware of what is going on.

Meet a neurologist as soon as possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think it would be prudent to consider meeting with the neurologist as soon as possible.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible seizure or syncope.
Your confusion seems to indicate the possibility of a seizure much more.
To test this you need a ECG EEG and MRI Brain at least.
These tests can be ordered by a neurologist.
Therefore, I suggested meeting a neurologist.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
