"Nge-blank" and empty mind as if cut off from the outside world is a relatively common thing. Perhaps you yourself have done it or seen friends and relatives was daydreaming with blank stares. 'Empty mind' can be a sign of a medical problem or a warning of serious health problems, but it is often not so. Here are some important clues that can help you figure out what causes your brain sometimes like "not connecting."
What is an "empty mind"?
Generally, this means your mind is not focused on what is happening at the moment, but rather somewhere else. Daydreaming is one of the most common forms, but nothing to worry about. However, there are also more serious types of mind that are caused by health problems.
What causes a person to have an "empty mind"?
This "empty mind" condition can be caused by several things:
TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack)
Transient ischemic attacks are brief strokes that do not cause permanent damage. Sometimes people with TIA are aware of what is happening, but the person is unable to communicate during TIA attacks and can not remember the event.
Seizures
Convulsions are usually associated with decreased as well as loss of consciousness. In the meantime, usually spasm causes the body's movements to become uncontrolled, some seem like a brief moment of loss of consciousness without abnormal body movements.
Hypotension
Very low blood pressure can cause blood flow to the brain to become small. If you have this problem, you may feel dizzy or have a mild headache, or lose consciousness for a while.
Hypoglycemia
Low blood sugar can cause loss of consciousness over a short period of time. Sometimes, hypoglycemia can make a person faint, but in some minor cases can cause a person to look like he is daydreaming.
Migraine
Migraines generally cause pain. Sometimes, the pain is so severe that it can make the patient become unconcerned with the environment. In addition, migraine is also a sign that there are other hidden diseases such as frequent daydreaming, even without pain.
Transient Global Amnesia
This disease is a rare event that can last for hours. If you are experiencing Transient Global Amnesia, you will not remember the events that occur or your behavior towards the people around. Some people with Transient Global Amnesia may be confused and unable to perform the task for a while.
Fatigue
Extreme fatigue can make a person "nge-blank" even when his body is awake, when the brain works hard to maintain consciousness.
While sleeping
A condition called narcolepsy can cause a person to fall asleep while the person is conscious at the same time. Extreme sleepiness can also cause a person to fall asleep while performing an activity. The person may actually be dreaming while doing his job. People around would think he was daydreaming.
Intoxication / medication
Using drugs interchangeably such as marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and even alcohol can cause unexpected effects and cause the user not to realize and forget the incident.
Distraction
"Nge-blank" occurs when a person is mentally and emotionally crammed with other things that drain his attention, for example a student in class, while watching or listening to something boring, or while driving.
Stress
Stress is a common disorder that makes it difficult for someone to do their work and responsibilities. However, acute stress can cause a person to even daydream while doing important tasks.
What do I remember?
Empty minds are usually a sign that you are more interested in something other than what is being done at a given moment. However, sometimes this is a warning that you have serious health problems.😊
