Black Out, Occurring Frequently, Immobile During This Spells, Mouth Tightens. On BC, Diabetic. Mini Strokes?
my daughter, age 38, has been experiencing momentary disconnection with the present. She does not black out but she is immobile when these spells occur. She can feel them coming on but has no control once they start. Her mouth tightens and her eyes remain open but she is immobile otherwise. She saw her g.p. about it several months ago who indicated that she should drink more water. That hasn't helped and the spells are becoming more frequent. She is on birth control pills and diabetic medication and is overweight. Could these be mini strokes?
