Hi,

For further information, could you please provide the age of the patient? From your description, it could be Absence Seizures where the individual stares at an object for some time with loss of connection with the environment. They won't be responding to calls or remembering the event as well.

For detailed evaluation, I would suggest to consult a Neurologist at the earliest so that your cousin can undergo a detailed examination and an Electroencephalogram to confirm the diagnosis and undergo prompt treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Devi Venugopal Rita, Internal Medicine Specialist
