Avatar f tn You would have to ask her Doctor that one, is she on meds as I do know that some have an effect on short term memory, what is she taking, ask her Doctor if the meds could be the reason, maybe her dosage,has she been upset maybe suffering from anxiety?
Avatar m tn i was told the brain cells die if a lack of oxygen,but recently told this will inprove? does my lack of memory/oxygen to the brain meen i need to request an appointment with a specialist or is it due to ?autism 1)dilated cardiomyopathy - enlarged and weakened heart, damaged left ventricle.
Avatar n tn I think possibly it could be a lack of concentration, maybe you are doing something else and not focused on what they are saying, so try focusing on the person when they talk to you, are you on any meds as they can make you have some short term memory loss. Are you anxious about anything as anxiety can also be a cause .
Avatar f tn Following a heart attack back in October 2007, I am not at much of a loss of memory. however at times I could feel how sharper my memory was before the onset of the ailment. I would forget for a moment even names of closely known people.The event is however brief and i would soon gain my memory back.I would attribute possible reasons for this to the score o medicines taken.
Avatar n tn The brain needs a lot of oxygen to keep active. These breathing techniques will supply the extra oxygen and relax the brain. Follow this every day and let me know how you are feeling after 4 weeks. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Avatar n tn In 2007 he had a hip replacement done and ended up having 3 operations within one week because of complications. My question is could the buildup of medications etc cause him to now have memory loss, language skills loss and tremors in his right hand. He walked in to the hospital on crutches and now is dependent on a wheelchair.
Avatar m tn It is a natural response of the body to fall down (faint) if there is a lack of oxygen in the brain. It does so to make the blood run to the head more easily.
Avatar n tn The amount of blood pumped out of the heart (which sends oxygen rich blood to the head) can briefly drop. A brief loss of consciousness may occur. It quickly returns as your chest relaxes, intrathoracic drops and blood can again circulate to major organs. Your brain is once again happy and you start feeling better. The temporary lack of oxygen to your brain can cause some seizure activity. That may explain your symptoms after the event. There are other possible explanations, so you should.
Avatar m tn Poor memory, brain fog and lack of concentration are all signs of insulin resistance. You may not have been actually diagnosed as insulin resistant yet, but elevated sugar levels do affect memory. Increase magnesium in the diet. Do not take magnesium supplements if you have kidney or heart problems. "Magnesium plays a pivotal role in the secretion and function of insulin; without it, diabetes mellitus is inevitable." - Nutritional Magnesium Association.
Avatar n tn I am a year and half post tx and I am experiencing memory loss, processing information (use to have a wonderful sense of direction) and just not myself. I have a very hectic job and I feel there are times I cannot keep up--and yes my confidence has diminished...anyone out there feel the same way...???
Avatar m tn However, ever since then I have felt different. My memory which used to be a particular strength of mine was weaker, and my ability to multitask almost went overnight. I often forget peoples names or the next word that I want to say. It is incredibly infuriating. My spatial awareness seems affected too as I keep bumping into things. This has notably got worse over the last few months with me forgetting my tablets on several occasions which is very rare for me.
Avatar n tn Or I have lung issues /infections etc. I had my oxygen level tested twice after my brain MRI showed lack of oxygen causing problems where I had a stroke at 17 but did not know it,only knew I had some kind of damage. I did not find out until 2002 that I had lesions on my optic nerves / some on each side of my brain and the old Lacunar Infarct in the lower right side of my brain. In 2000 I had some kind of attack that sent me spinning..
Avatar f tn It's already been determined that the lack of oxygen to the brain is what is causing me to pass out and get dizzy. It's not that there isn't enough oxygen in the blood, it's that there isn't enough blood getting to the brain causing a series of mini strokes. The question listed above was, I'm beginning to see shadown in my periferal vision on the right side. I was wondering if this could be caused by the intracranial atherosclerosis.
Avatar n tn Recently, I find that my memory is deteriorating rapidly. Very forgetful, lack of logic and difficulty abosobing or understanding something (not picking up training in a new product etc). I am 42 years old. Recently, I've had my peiod for over a month (1 week of regular bleeding and light to heavy bleeding to spotting for the remaining time), went to the doctor, she performed DNC and advised of some fibroids in the uterus (not too big).
Avatar m tn old, with end-stage emphysema, with serious memory loss, no longer given oxygen or nebulizer treatment since it no longer is effective, down 40 lbs. in the past 10 years, must live in a nursing home for 24/7 supervision, no longer can stand without assistance, has not been able to walk for the past one year? Does my mother have any way to make her feel better, even for just a few minutes?
454606 tn?1361925680 t seem to help this constant sleepiness. Does that make sense to you? Can a lack of oxygen cause the problems with my toes? I know that sounds corny, but I've learned to ask everyone all of my questions because I never know what is causing what anymore. Do I need medical help now, or can I wait a couple of weeks until I can get in with my pulmonologist?
Avatar n tn Tell your friend to start doing this pranayam for 30 minutes daily, and if the oxygen level does not start to increase in 7 days, seek medical help. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Avatar n tn I have never heard of any antidepressants being associated with memory loss, but everyone reacts differently to these meds so I suppose anything is possible. Are you sure this memory loss is not due to another medical condition you may not know about? If it makes you feel any better, I used to take Effexor XR at 300Mgs a day for 4 years and did not have any lasting memory problems. I can say that now that I am 40 I have noticed that I have a little trouble remembering many things.
Avatar f tn Black outs occur as alcohol cuts off the supply of oxygen to the brain seriously disrupting the activity of several neurotransmitters in Your brain, These transmitters are responsible for storing short term memory and THEN responsible to transition short term into long term memory. When those receptors shutdown, short term memory fails to become (transition into) long term memory. This happens because of the level of alcohol in Your blood.
926553 tn?1244047438 m 46 had 3 strokes in early april, very blessed I was left with Horners syndrome and short term memory loss. After 2 1/2 months my memory loss is getting worst instead of better. I also have Diabetes-controlled, had a gastric bypass and lost 80 lbs my weight is ideal now. Still smoking a few cigarettes a day. I don't understand why I am have more memory loss now?
Avatar m tn Impacts to the skull that produce a concussion can certainly cause death, if not quickly addressed in an appropriate medical facility. The cause of death is usually due to lack of oxygen to the brain secondary to swelling and the oclusion of the supply of blood and nutrients. To cut to the chase, just because you or your child has a concussion does not mean you are going to die. There are always exceptions, but usually a mild concussion will resolve by itself with no long lasting effects.
Avatar f tn Each major episode started at night and lasted 6-2 weeks. I wake up with a feeling of being totally out of breath and the air lacks oxygen. It's difficult to exhale with the normal day-to-day breathing, but no problem with a bit more force. Still, it feels like the air lacks oxygen. My breathing always stops somewhere at exhaling and I actively have to breath again. This repeats 1-2 times for the coming nights and always gets better when I sit upright, and vanishes if I take an inhaler.
