After a particularly strong episode of deja vu / nausea / disorientation I've started to wonder if maybe I'm having simple seizures on occasion. You guys recommended I see a doctor about it, and I will, but it's made me question a few other odd things that happen sometimes and I wanted to run it by you. Find out if it's something I should mention to the doctor.
The deja vu and other things only seem to happen in my sleep. Several years ago I had a couple episodes of waking deja vu but those were the only times. Ever since it's only happened in my sleep, although it does wake me up and persist for a short while (less than a minute probably, though I'm not really keeping track of time). It always happens within an hour or so of falling asleep.
Sometimes also my right arm will jerk. Not just twitch, but full-on fling itself. Usually that wakes me up I think, but I know there are times that it doesn't. My husband has complained of me punching him in my sleep.
But the main thing I wanted to ask about: can simple seizures make you hear music? Sometimes I'll go from what feels like deep sleep to *SNAP* wide awake. And when I snap awake I'm hearing music, or sometimes a loud roaring (like a sea shell when you hold it to your ear, but much louder). It literally sounds like the music is coming from outside my head (like wearing headphones), and when I wake up I recognize that I was hearing it while I was asleep too. Then it fades out a couple of seconds after waking. A particularly strong dream that took me a few moments to come out of, or something else?
Since all of this really happens when I'm sleeping I've been writing it off as bad dreams, or too much coffee, or hormonal imbalances.
