What causes sudden unresponsiveness to conversations along with stomach cramps?
human
My daughter, 28 years old recently had a check up and she was in outstanding condition according to the liver, kidney function and blood work done. She has been having episodes occasionally of suddenly becoming unable to respond in a conversation in spite of being acutely aware of everything going on and understanding the conversation. Now these episodes are almost daily and at the same time her bowels become hyper active and strong stomach cramps. She went to the E.R. 2 nights ago hoping they could catch the episode and teat her while it was going on. They didn t. They gave her valium that had no effect and made her an appointment with a nuerologist for novemeber. She contacted her general practioner to get an appointment sooner. What does this sound like? The episodes have been happening in the ealrly afternoon. None at night.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Sudden episodes of unresponsiveness might be a feature of seizures. Definitely go for EEG scan as early as possible after the episode and preferably not after 24 hours of episode. It might also be a transient ischemic attack. MRI scan might also be helpful. Don't put her go alone riding a bike try to accompany her always. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
