I fell four years ago and hit my head on concrete I didnt go to the hospital even though I forgot where I was for a few seconds...years later I have noticed my memory went from being amazing to really bad where I can barely remember my own phone number and address. Today I got lost in a city I have lived for 14 years. I didnt know where I was although that street is the main one. I have blackouts for several seconds where its like if I freeze and forget things. its becoming more frequent, could there be damage don rom that fall? mind you this was a really bad fall
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. The only way the two-fall with head injury and memory problems-could be related is, if the fall led to head injury with brain damage, and you are now having seizures (post-traumatic seizures). Seizures are known to adversely affect the memory. The way to go forward would be to get an MRI scan of the brain done. This could show any past brain damage (idiotic changes). Doing an EEG would help to exclude any epilepsy. If there is epilepsy, and we treat them with anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. I hope it helps. Best wishes,
