Avatar f tn I've been experiencing some really irritating short-term memory loss problems (for myself as well as other people). I am 35, female and trying to figure out why and how I can improve this. Ther are a few things I have considered...I was in an auto accident last year. I was t-boned and the driver side airbag went off and pretty much saved my life.
1763947 tn?1334055319 Hi, I was wondering if any one else has experienced problems with short term memory? Mine is getting worse by the day and I am really worried. My friend called me one night and the next day when we spoke, I didn't remember ever talking to her the night before. This type of thing is happening more and more. My move was delayed until the end of the month which means I am delayed in seeing my new LLMD. Would love to hear if this is something many people experience?
Avatar m tn are there any products on the market that can help short term memory loss that are safe and work as well as they claim?
1339419 tn?1275966042 As we age, we all suffer short term memory problems and cognitive abilities, but to a different degree in different people. In an issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association (APA) research showed that people with high blood pressure obtain these ageing symptoms earlier than those with normal pressure and to a higher degree.

I am afraid it is affecting my schooling as well. I can't remember much. Its like I have no short-term memory. what would you suggest I do? What type of medication can help me stay alert?
Avatar m tn I'm 36, healthy, ideal weight and I find that my short term memory is depleting at a rapid rate. What can I do or take to help with this....I have tried the B12 liquid but I notice no change. This problem is getting really embarrassing at the point I must write everything down or I will forget.
Avatar f tn I have short term memory and have had it most of my life, I cant work and i feel very ashamed because i cant remember directions or a number ive been told just after ive been told them.

Avatar m tn hey guys, I was diagnosed with short term memory back in high school...teachers were made aware of this issue & I was given extra time to take tests/study. A few years have passed since then, but I find that I seem to be forgetting things quicker than I used to. For instance, I couldnt even remember the name of a movie I saw with my friend two days ago or our conversation....sometimes conversations hours after they have occurred. is there anythinng I can do to help improve my memory???
Avatar n tn i am a 28yr old female. I do have IC. I have been having short term memory loss. I do not use any drugs nor have i had an head trauma nor do I take any medications. What might be causing this memory problem? The memory issue is something new. I cant even remember things that happened yesterday or even last week. I can remember things that are of major importance but nothing minor. I also have been having migraines yet I have dealt with migraines now for about 9 yrs. What could this be?

Avatar f tn My 15 y.o. child had a brain surgery just 3 days ago and she is experiencing the problems with her short-term memory I hope it's temporarily. Is early interventions are advisable?
Avatar n tn Hi, Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine you, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern. You need a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment.
Avatar m tn t wake up in her usual time, lately she woke up and when I talked with her she was unable to answer me properly, she was having difficulties in short term memory, she was unable to tell me whether it is morning or night, I asked her what time is it she said its night, I asked then why there's sunlight if it is night then she get confused and said i dont know may be its evening.
Avatar m tn I am a professional person and used to think my memory loss was from depression (taking this for anxiety but sometimes can be disguised) which can cause some short term memory loss. I thought this since memory loss was never even considered by the pharms. Now today after finding this site, I see it is true what I have always believed. This Med cause short term memory loss!
Avatar n tn She has also been suffering, for the same amount of time, with short-term memory loss to the point that she forgets what she is trying to say halfway through a sentence or conversation, will completely forget what we are watching on television during a 3-minute advert break, she also becomes confused very easily recently. She is an articulate and intelligent woman and is very upset and scared at the moment, she knows this is not just "being a little forgetful".
Avatar f tn Hello, Sarah. My husband (age 57) had a hemorrhagic stroke last year in July. The stroke mainly struck his eyesight. He now has double vision. His short term memory was affected but it has gotten a lot better. It is still very early in your moms recovery. I would say the short term memory will get better, but, how much is anyones guess. My husbands doctors never once said anything about Alzheimers. Find out what areas of your moms brain was hit.
Avatar n tn s first suggestion was that I discontinue taking Ambien immediately; as it was causing my short term memory loss, upon further research on the subject, I learned that I am not alone. And that there are dozens, if not hundreds of others, and articles; which are written on the subject, and the association, or side effect of short term memory loss, while using, and apparently even after discontinuing Ambien CR 12.5 tablets! I've been taking Ambien 12.
Avatar m tn Hi Kjm, Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am sorry to hear about your memory problems. In my opinion it's not uncommon to have some memory issues while you are on an opiate, especially if it's an acute problem or short term high doses of opiate therapy. Usually these clear up soon after discharge or discontinuation of the medication. It's not usual to have a long term memory problem following short term opiate therapy. However six days is not a terribly long time.
Avatar n tn I am concerned that there is a connection between his sub conscious shutting down his problems with his father and his everyday short term memory loss. Please let me know if I should get him to a counsellor to help him through and for him to get help. Is this curable and will he need medication.
Avatar n tn same thing here I was on 3000 mg of keppra/day and kept haveing 25-30 partial seizures a month and every 3 months I would have a short term memory loss, I would feel funny then confused i would ask my wife questions and we would realize i could not remember anything short term like the entire morning or previous evening.
Avatar f tn Ambien absolutely can cause memory loss, more commonly short-term issues, but also some people have reported problems with their long term memory as well. The good news is...if other causes have been ruled out, and Ambien seems to be the culprit, the memory issues will resolve most times after the Ambien is safely tapered.
Avatar n tn I was given Ambien to help with sleep. Not only did I have short term memory problems but physical problems -aching all over. Fortunately the side affects did go away as soon as the medicine wore off. I agree with choo choo - the stuff is poison.
1260255 tn?1288654564 s 80 and has so little short-term memory that she can no longer make decisions, read anything more than a short joke, remember what city her children live in, remember that she asked a question 30 seconds ago, etc. They say it's not Alzheimer's but don't know the cause. It's rather shocking and scary to see how short-term memory deficits can make a person so dependent and disabled (not to mention the awful effect on personal relationships).
10169340 tn?1415846161 I have posted here before and never thought of to ask, I have CM1 and CCI ( still waiting on insurance to approve surgery) but have had in the past year really bad short term memory loss as well as the dizziness...does anyone else have this? I have been to several doctors since August a headace specialist and a NS ..They say it is not related to the Chiari...but could not tell me what it is from...and honestly the 2 of them could not get me out of their office fast enough.
Avatar m tn I have been off these meds fro three weeks, severe mania anxiety, loss or disconnect of short term memory. Do not feel safe in public. WHAT TO DO ?
Avatar n tn I am 28 yrs old. I have IC. I have been having recent short term memory loss. I do not use drugs nor have I had any trauma. What might be the cause of this. I am not having any other symptoms of anything but not able to remember things of short term unless they are significant. I can't remember things that I even did yesterday. worst part is that I do not have insurance to get to a doctor to have tests ran to receive help that I might need to help find out what I have going on.
