Absent Seizures: It may be what we call Absent Seizures .These cause lapses in awareness with staring.Absent seizures can be so brief that hey can be mistaken for day dreaming &may not be detected for months.They cause short period of blanking out or staring into space.It is rare 1in 200000 cases per year.Lab tests,EEG and imaging often needed to diagnose.Children outgrow it but adults need meds.Consult your MD
