It sounds like you are having what's called an "aura". This is a form of seiz. which can occur. I went a whole week one time having this aura feeling, it's the weirdest feeling ever. I still get them once in a while. If it happens you should probably let someone you are hanging out with about what's happening and then meanwhile just let it pass. They are really annoying yes, but we just got to let it pass and go on.

Oh yes! That's how it all started, at least for me. I used to have this deja vu feeling and after that I would wake up few mins later with a terrible headache...
Deja vus are a common symptom of an upcoming seizure, I would suggest you to get an appointment with a neurologist and take some tests like EEG and blood tests just to be sure.
How long have you been having these deja vus? Have you been going through a stressful period? Did something happen in your life recently that may explain them (emotionally, medically...)?
It could be a temporary condition but still it's better to check it out.

Thanks for responding guys. I started having seizures about two years ago. The reason I asked this question is because I have recently switched meds and have been having these weird instances (auroas) more often lately. I see my neurologist soon, so Im hoping I can maybe adjust some meds around because I think this may be my problem.

Yes, meds. can really have some crazy side effects on a person, I just had a serious incident myself. Are you slowly going off one and on to another or did you just switch, because certain meds. do NOT work together.

Yes! I had these feelings for 5 years and everyone I told said I was crazy and a hypochondriac. Talk to your neurologist immediately. I never knew it, but right after I had these feelings, I would have a complex-partial seizure. They're a common symptom.

can a small child have these aura's? My PDD-NOS Mild retarded son lost his father at zmas and he has been having more seizures lately. Anyway 2 times in the last 2 weeks he has been talking to his Dad. The first time I was out of the room but heard him talking. When I asked what he was doing he said"talking to big guy" When asked if he knew Dad was in heaven he said "no see him right here" Mike's 8 but mentally about 4 but loved his dad very much. Is it play or does he really see dad or what

Yes, I've had the same Deja Vu episode many times! More of these episodes happened before I was diagnosed with complex partial seizures & put on med's.

Mine seemed to be worse when I was sleep deprived. I worked evenings or night shifts mostly so my sleep pattern was irregular.

I have had epilepsy for the past 33 yrs. but it wasn't till about 9 yrs. ago when I first started dating my husband, that I actually figured out the "deje voue" feeling. One day I just started getting that weird feeling like I knew everyone around me and I kept getting this weird aura feeling too. It went on for a whole week. I didn't realize at the time that that was actually a type of seiz. that I was having. I still get those feelings now and then, sometimes they will even go on for a whole day, but nothing like that one week.

Juggling3, maybe it's his way of dissassociating himself from the reality of Daddy being gone. He's putting himself in a happy, comfortable place. Let us know what the pediatrician says. Good Luck.

Wow Heather,
I used to get deja vu all the time as a teenager which is when I first began getting petit mal and then later as a young adult with full onset of gran mal seizures. I am now 54 years old. I never knew that deja vu had anything to do with onset of seizures. They used to drive me nuts and I thought it was something others felt, so I never said anything.
Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.

I would definitely have it checked out. Jeanne
