deja vu and anxiety

Hello!

Is Deja Vu normal for anxiety?? I have heard that it is connected with epilepsy and now I'm extreme scared! last days I have experienced 2-3 deja vu that lasted few seconds...but i'm very worried that I get it again and I can stop thinking about it and I feel like I have deja vu all the time now...is it because I think about it too much??

I very scared!! I have horrible heakth anxiety and mild panic attacks, phobia and trauma

      Thank you for reply!

      Yes, so far I have done all kind of blood tests and blood tests for hormones, and CT scan ... everything came normal! Now I'm waiting for EEG results...I'm very nervous...

      Anyway, I also experience something like adrenalin rush, stomach tingling, light spots in my vision, disordered vision, derealisation, depersonalisation and I have also weird feeling like I have experience some situation before (they feel very familiar to me) but I can't remember if I really did or not! It makes me very scared because I'm scared that I can have epilepsy...

      Now I'm afraid that I can get deja sent! I'm thinking about it so hard and now I feel like I have it all the time...I'm in panic mode again...

      i had blood tests, c.t scans everything they can do on your brain. it all showed up no signs of epilepsy or anything sinister. my health anxiety and general anxiety ive learned how to manage but it used to be so severe i couldnt funtion physically or mentally. if your scans have turned out normal then you dont have epilepsy. the doctor told me its more or less anxiety based. to be honest i dont what causes the de ja vu but i learned to accept it over the years. nothing else i can do because mine hasnt gone away. i just see it as if it was something bad i be dead long ago.

      just replying yo say that i do yoo experience deja vu a lot during the day, i dont sleep well most of the time though and ive read that lack of sleep can cause deja vu, what i do when it gets bad i just lay down and basically meditate until my heart rate goes down and i calm down a bit. if youre always scared and feel fearful you should see a doctor for help, medication can help heaps. ive read lots on what can cause deja vu like anxiety, lack of sleep, stress but also temporal lobe seizures, ive heard slip discs in your back/neck can also cause it, its very strange.

      and just like you i also think something is wrong with me and that i too am dying but you said youve had this for three years and youre still here so i dont believe youre dying(: but you definitely should talk to a doctor or neurologist, i hope youre doing better since this was 6 months ago
