Everyone gets de ja vu??

I get de ja vu multiple times a day followed by nausea - this is normal right?? Everyone gets de ja vu at some point??

De ja vu is caused when your eyes and brain short circuit the routine to decode and process the view of the outside world, for example in the case of an emergency.
Usually it takes a fraction of a second for this process, but as part of the fight or flight reaction it happens quicker, followed by the processed version, hence the "seen it before" feeling.
If there's a regular occurrence, you should book to see a GP IMHO

My husband has epilepsy. He always knows a seizure is coming a couple of minutes beforehand. He will just say he feels weird and stop what he’s doing to go and lie down.

When I asked him what he meant by feeling weird, he said it’s like he gets a sense of doom, an intense feeling in his stomach and it feels like the world has slowed down around him. He also gets de ja vu before it happens.

I’m glad you’ve got an appointment. Good luck.

Every few months I get it, never any nausea but some annoying confusion. Usually it's that I've dreamed the exact situation and then it happens a few weeks later 🤷‍♀️

I also have seizures (non-epileptic) but have never associated my deja vu with it

Just found this post and thought I'd update

I finally saw a gp who said I was having side effects from my anti depressants. So I went cold turkey and stopped them.

Still got the same deja vu feelings but not as much.

5 weeks ago I had my first grand mal seizure, followed by 3 more in the following weeks.

So I have epilepsy. My neurologist says the deja vu feelings I had been having were probably auras. I may have even had seizures then as I don't remember them, I only know I've had the recent ones as I was asleep and woke my husband up.

I'm currently taking 1000mg of leveticeram (sp?) a day and am two weeks seizure free.
