Boyfriend randomly forgetting how he got places

My boyfriend for years (even before he met me 8 years ago) randomly gets these spells where he forgets the last 2 minutes or so of what he's done. I can't tell when he's doing it as he's still kinda normal. We might be getting into bed and he will go through the motions of checking the door locks and turning off lights and setting alarms and get into bed.

Then he will tell me he just did it again and he can't remember how he got into bed. The only thing I can remember is he's just quiet while doing it, theres nothing that makes me think of it or I would try and talk to him.

He finally said he's going to see a doctor for it as he hasnt seen a doctor for the whole time we've been together for 6 years now.

But does anyone know what it could be?? He only smokes cigarettes and he'sbeen smoking for probably 14 years now.drinks maybe 2 beer a month and does no drugs at all. Barely will take an advil if he has a headache.

He says times of stress will do it and it seems like when he turns on a florescent light it triggers it. sad

Hey. Glad to hear he's going to see a doctor about it. I'm not a medical professional at all but it sounds like a form of short term amnesia. With you saying he seems to get it when he turns on a fluorescent light, do you know if he's ever been tested for epilepsy?
