What Causes Sudden Altered Sense Of Consciousness And Inability To Recollect Events?

Please forgive the story. It is the issue. My husband said our oldest forgot to grab a container and he would go get it. So he went outside and retrieved this container, comes back in, and goes to hand it to me. I grabbed the other end. He wouldn t let go and is steady staring at me. I thought he was playing, so I told him to knock it off. He didn t answer and still wouldn t let go...while still staring at me hard. So I put the sponge I had down and went to grab it again. He dropped this container before I got to it, steps to the side, kind of shakes his head, and asks me what Im looking at. ... ... I asked him what he had just done. He couldn t answer me. I told him to stop messing with me. He still acted the same, so I repeated what he had done. He told me our daughter got the tupperware and he had never gone back outside. When I tried to argue he told me to stop lying. If our oldest hadn t seen the whole thing from his back... I would swear I was crazy. Is this maybe just stress? I don t think I can get him to go to the doctor. He doesn t believe me, but I am freaking out.

Hi Good morning

This may be due to complex partial seizure or delirium.
It require detail history, neurological examination, MSE and if require blood investigation.

Better you consult neurologist nearby you.
