MX,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

It sounds like she is having seizures. Hers are of the absence type. I had them when I was 15-16. Back then, they called them petit-mal. She needs to not drive, ride a bike, walk up or down stairs without assistance or take any risks where she can fall and get hurt. There are plenty of meds that can control these seizures if that is what they are.

You don't say how old she is. This is more common during adolescence as the brain is maturing. I outgrew my seizures just like my neuro said.

Tell her she needs to get examined by the neuro as soon as possible.

Let us know how she is doing.

My best to you all.
