What Causes Day Dreaming, Nausea And Tingling Sensation At The Base Of The Skull?

I had an episode a couple days ago where I felt like I was remembering a dream. After a couple of seconds, I was fully immersed in this memory/dream. I was aware it was happening, but couldn t pull myself out of it. It lasted for a minute or two, and when I came back, I was nauseous. The whole episode was very intense. Right before the episode, I felt tingling at the base of my skull. After it was over, I couldn t remember anything about the memory/dream, just that it had happened. This isn t the first time this has happened. I ve been having these episodes since 2011 (when I was 20). There s always some degree of familiarity to the dreams. Kinda like deja vu. I am completely awake when they happen (they ve happened while taking a shower, cooking, walking on my college campus, etc). The one Friday night was the worst I ve ever had. I saw my GP for them in 2011, and he wrote me off. My grandmother had epilepsy and narcolepsy.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to epilepsy seizures (temporal lobe epilepsy). For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical check up and some tests:
-an EEG
- a brain MRI study
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
