Get jumpy when its very sunny?
I know people on here are unlikely to be medical professionals, but I just wanted some ideas as to what this could be:
When I'm out and about on a very sunny day and I close my eyes to protect them from the extreme light, I experience mini fits. They only last seconds, but the more I close my eyes in situations like this, the more mini fits I get.
If I have like 5 or more of such fits I tend to, for about ten seconds...forget what I'm doing, where I am, etc...
The solutions I have found is to try not to close my eyes when its extra sunny. But I always have to experience a mini fit to remember to close my eyes to not get anymore-if that makes sense.
Normally it happens when I'm in a car or on a bus.
I'm 19 and have experienced this as long as I can remember. So has my twin.
Any suggestions what it could be?

I imagine the fact that your twin shares it (so you're not alone) coupled with the fact that it's been happenning as long as you can remember may have embedded the idea that it's merely a nuisance. You're curious to know why, but it can't be particulalry threatening? That would be perfectly understandable, you're hardly likely to go into a panic over something that's being going on 19 years. But it's definitely time to describe these symptoms and experiences to a doctor. I've no idea what it could be. Clearly you've developed normally despite it. Medics, and especially teachers would have picked-up on anything which looked abnormal or 'different' or held you back in a behavioural/social or academic sense. Not to mention your parents. I think you've kept it to yourself quite long enough. Make an appointment with your doc and get to the bottom of it. Okay?

Both of you have this? And do the parents know, cus they should. What if this is some kind of mini seizures you are experiencing? that is a life threatening thing if not managed with Drs care and medication. As to what will set of seizures, I used to be a caregiver and also known of other people I've come across like at a friends Christmas party. The one with seizures made an announcement to all other guests asking them to not take any pictures with their camera while she was in the room as the flashes would cause her to go instantly into a seizure. I've known others who had no reason catalyst to bringing it on, others who found it came on more often when stressed, having not had good rest lately. I am sure a Dr. would know and could explain better what causes this. So if you want to live a long life, I'd make sure the parents know and get you and twin into a Dr. for testing immediately.
