Weird Symptoms

I have already made an appointment to discuss with my doctor but I'm looking for insight as to what this could be possibly.

For the past 4/5 years I've strange episodes. 

Its starts out like I'm in a mental fog, can't really focus or anything. Shortly after that starts I start having trouble with basic motor functions. Speech is slurred, holding on to things, etc. After that I be come so sleepy I can not stay awake, its almost as if I have taken a prescription sleep aid but I haven't. Once I fall asleep I wake up hours later and feel really weak. 

The next day I'm fine. I always check my vitals glucose levels and blood pressure when the mental fog sets in. Its always normal. Glucose was 82 and B/P was 120/78 last time I had an episode which was earlier this week. I sleep 6/7 hours a day, eat healthy, and drink plenty of water usually 5/6 bottles of water a day. 


It seems like they are progressively getting worse as the years go by. My family doesn't have a history of narcolepsy nor epilepsy and I do not have sleep apnea (was tested because I snore....I have enlarged adenoids though) 

Any thoughts or insights?

    No idea. I'm glad you're going to be talking with your doctor!

    Glad you were tested for sleep apnea did they include the narcolepsy portion of it? Otherwise I would be consulting a neurologist.

    They weren't happening a lot, and I was writing it off to poor diet, stress and other environmental factors.

    My SO has a type of seizure. It is not epilepsy. There is no history of seizures in his family. He has them though. I would see a neurologist asap! My SO takes a pill every day and he is ok. Also there is a type of seizure called "drop seizures". It sounds like your symptoms! Please see a neurologist and good luck!

    I had read also about pyschogenic seizures which are similar but now I don't have any of the stessors I had previously, so now it has me thinking there may be something 'really' wrong not just pyschological.
