stress test your memory

Hello All I have been having memory problems. Not sure what to think of them. My anxiety and depression are getting the best of me. Every time I start to get my life back something else throws me in a downward spiral. I spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about my future instead of living it. To keep it short. I found out that I have a problem with my cervical spine which is causing headaches and neck pain.

But in the meantime, while you wait for a sleep test or to see a doc to figure out what might be doing this to your memory, let us say you know on your own that you don't sleep very well. I can suggest a couple easy things you can do to try to clear this up: One is to exercise to where you break a sweat at least three or four times weekly, this helps release tension and also helps a person sleep better. Two is to make your sleeping room very comfortable...

I've had memory loss due to vitamin B12 malabsorption, hypothyroidism, and severe stress. Alzheimer's is also called Diabetes Type 3. A book you might want to read is called Brain Grain by David Perlmutter M.D.

reasoning, and more by repeating things immediately, 15 minutes later, half hour later, little puzzles and test to test your ability to sort things and solve problems. That test takes a few hours.

Is stress can't affect hypothyroidism? Any suggestion?

Are you going through a period of stress and anxiety right now. In my experience, you can defintely not focus on what you are reading because your mind is too preoccupied with other thoughts.

Yes, it is MS. Yes, the memory holes from MS are really difficult to deal with. I also sometimes have trouble recognizing objects. Or thinking of words. It's mainly why I don't work any more. I know exactly what you mean. I have to ask my boyfriend if I have seen a movie before. Or a broadway play even - which is a much bigger deal, obviously. I don't remember meals or when I last saw a friend - or if I have paid a bill or not. So I have to pay them as soon as they come in.

Can stress cause you to have body aches and sometime memory loss also loss of appetite?

I know we've addressed this in a recent thread, but I just have to share that I just forgot my house address. I've lived here for almost 10 years, and I suddenly couldn't remember my house numbers. I went back & forth between 2 digits - one is right and one is not. Can this just be because I'm highly distracted with other issues (read: STRESSED) right now? I hate that these things are happening more & more frequently.

) But yes, the memory loss thing will go away.

(1) Take a reality check, notice how QUIET it is in the test room as the quiz is handed out. Students are freaked out with what is about to happen, so you ain't the only one under stress. (2) Pay attention to the test itself. It's going to be talking about things you're interested in, so the questions will jog your memory about all the fun stuff you learned about, so take some moments to recall the interesting info the question brings up in your mind.

Hi all! I have been absent for awhile bc I don't seem to find a lot of answers and I haven't needed much moral support. However, here I am again with pretty much the same question... does anyone else have memory issues/gaps? Most recently I am having numerous tiny gaps where I can't remember anything seen or heard (etc) for no more than a few seconds. I have had gaps here and there for at least three years now but most were missed without someone else pointing them out.

Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.

concentration impairment. Most common causes of short term memory and concentration impairment are excessive stress, psychological reason, recent head injury, certain medications, hormonal imbalance and Alzheimer’s disease (if you are in old age). I would recommend you to see a neurologist who can evaluate the details of your case and could better determine the insight of your situation. In the meantime, try to do some meditation exercises (eg.

As this problem occured starting 2 yrs ago you say, did you hit your head in some way? This is sign of head trauma, but if not then stress can cause similar symptoms that you are describing.

Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor. It may be a good idea at some point if the memory issues remain after you finish treatment to get a consultation with a neurologist, be examined, and get tested. But, if it was me, I would wait until I was finished with treatment because some or all of this may clear up after treatment, especially if you attain SVR. Best of luck.

thankyou for responding, yes had the test reached my target heart rate , but didnt feel like i had exerted myself enough to give my heart a real test, thankfully nothing showed, but wish i had some answers to the chest pain that goes down my left arm, and cardioligist says its nothing, well its not nothing its very disturbing actually put me on lipitor as bad cholestrol is 7 oh well if i cark it least i know nothing was wrong..

Had a nuclear treadmill stress test done while taking the test the whole time the nurse held me up from behind 2 hands on back because i stated i had back problems and as soon as test started she began this procere is this comman practice?

Anyone know?

If so, they can give you something for your anxiety. I had the treadmill stress test and I was able to take a xanax. If it's the other one that's a medicine induced stress test where you lay on a table, then I'm not sure. Is your Dr. wanting you to get this test done? Has the chest pain went away since you started using your inhaler? You know anxiety can give alot of us shortness of breath and chest pains.

I am scheduled for a nuclear stress test on july 30, and an echo. I have had an echo but was wondering what the stress test was?? Anyone with info please help??????

After my first a-fib episode they had me do the stress test and they advised they are prepared for anything, You need to trust your cardiologist. Good Luck!
