Husband decided to make himself an omelette and got ingredients out of fridge.

Cariad - it was very kind of that couple .
Over the last few years some Muslims have performed enormous acts of kindness for me .
I'm a Christian and don't always feel supported by my church .
It's a thought .

Can you make him promise to see a medic if it happens again Gr8dame?

I know he won't this time but maybe he'll agree to see one if it happens again?
Or maybe if he has to go to the GP for something else you could ask him to mention it?

It would be terrible if he needed (say) anticoagulants and didn't know it...
If it was my husband he would probably promise to mention it "for me" - to put my mind at ease.

I hope he is perfectly fine.

I don't know why but to me the word suggests fizzy pop.

We used to have Corona fizzy pop years ago.

My first comment above was addressed to Petra.
Not Petrol.
My phone is very disobedient. Changes things behind my backck

OP
Sounds a bit like petit mal ?

I have heard several young people quite well educated graduates refer to the king being coronated.

Could be start of vascular dementia- if your husband has another one ask for a check up.

Dementia clock, MayBee70. I use one, I always take my Thursday tablets instead of Wednesdays, I look at my clock now to see what day it is 😟

I’m another who agrees with Aldom. My mum when aged 80 had suddenly couldn’t remember the names of common plants in her garden. She’d had a tia/mini stroke

Thanks for clarifying how your DH felt Gr8dame, his description of how he felt doesn't sound like he did have a focal awareness seizure leading to an impaired awareness seizure. I hope whatever did happen doesn't happen again but if it does I'm glad that you're resolved on seeking medical assistance.

I was very frightened not long ago. I was on a train but had no idea where I was going. The feeling soon passed however.

DH’s description of “feeling strange” meant that he suddenly felt incredibly tired and couldn’t keep his eyes open he didn’t completely lose consciousness CherryCezzy. He is ex Navy and can’t bear to think he is “malingering”.
If it happens again I will certainly get medical assistance. Thank you so much for your input it is very helpful when life gets bewildering.

I had this happen a few weeks ago. It is scary 😱
I got to see the Dr that day which turned out quite amusing.
He asked the usual questions to test my memory. But, one question was: when was the king’s coronation? Only he couldn’t remember the word coronation so I helped him out 😂

I wrote a cheque out the other day and dated it 2026. Ever since I retired I forget what day month year it is! I do sometimes go to do a recipe that I’ve done lots of times but haven’t done for a while and realise I’ve forgotten how to make it. Eg I had to think the other day whether I used cheese sauce with a lasagne ( I hadn’t made one for a long time). It did worry me a bit….

Was he dehydrated? Or has he, or the entire family been under any stress lately?

Hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

Hello Gr8dame, may I ask a question? Was your DH able to describe to you what he meant by feeling strange? I ask because besides the possibility that he did have a TIA there is the possibility that he had a focal awareness seizure (aura) followed by a small focal impaired awareness seizure, which is where a person doesn't lose complete consciousness ( or convulse) and don't necessarily fall to the floor but may not be aware that they had consciousness. After a seizure of this type a person will be in a confused/disoriented state and for a short while either not know where they are, what they were doing or how to do it. or all three. It doesn't mean he has epilepsy, one in 3/4 people are likely to have one seizure in their lifetime and never have another one.
As others have said, make a note of what happened, be vigilant and if it happens again it's important that he seeks advice.

Can anyone recommend a reliable cleaner in Southborough/Tunbridge Wells?

Thanks nannarose

Thanks cornergran

It might help to think about the 'rule of 3'. An odd event like this might happen to anyone (don't worry about what it might be called) at any time.
Make a note of it (not just on Gransnet!)
If it happens again compare and decide if it's worrying.
If it happens a 3rd time fairly soon (say 3 times in a year) seek advice.
It is very likely that by then, you will have a good idea of what is going on, and your husband will probably want an assessment.
Of course, a seriously worrying event, seek help straight away. Lots of good advice on the NHS website.

I totally empathise there Gr8dame. Himself should consult a GP about several medication related things rumbling on. Will he? Of course not!

Regarding your husband I think I might leave a message for the GP explaining you are concerned and asking if there was any potential for your husband to be called in for a routine MoT which could involve a general chat. I know our surgery would do it. He might go to that.

Unfortunately Oreo I can never get him to go to see his GP

Those episodes sound scary, some obvs not worrying but others may be, would your DH feel happier discussing it with his GP?

Not sure it’s iTransient Global awareness… my friend had this for a whole day Carried on all her usual things even went on a bus to the doctors but had NO knowledge of having done any of it when she went to the doctors afterwards. he said ‘oh you seem a lot better than yesterday’ and she was like ‘ well I haven’t seen you for weeks’ and he was ‘no you were here yesterday’ she did all her chores including locking up for the night but lost a whole day She was told it was TGA and it only ever happens once
Your husband sounds very aware that he wasn’t right at the time
Get it checked could have easily been a TIA
