What Causes Sudden Disorientation Of Mind Along With Fatigue?
I have had on three occasions, one happening today, where I relive some insignificant event in my life, a simple conversation that happened many years before and it gives me a jolt to the point that I forget my PIN numbers and passwords. These 3 occasions wear me down and after about 3-4 hours my brain gradually returns to normal. What can be happening. I can recall about 7 years ago the first occurrence and the second one about 2 years ago and today the last one. I don t believe these are flashbacks because I feel fatigued after one of these episodes.
