Suggest Treatment For Short Term Memory Loss And Nausea
Hi Doctor, I fell the other night and I hit the left side of my head like where my temple is located. There are lumps there. I went to the ER. They did a CT scan and was told it likes normal. Well, I m still really tired, short-term memory loss, vision is a little more off than normal, and nauseous a couple of days after. Also, my back hurts more now post-epidural, spinal tap and blood patch from a few months ago. Should I be concerned?!

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS FOLLOWING AN HEAD INJURY CAN OCCUR.
IT IS KNOWN AS ANTEGRADE AMNESIA
IF YOUR CT APPEARS TO BE NORMAL YOU NEED NOT WORRY
POST EPIDURAL SPINAL TAP PROCEDURE CAN CAUSE PAIN AT THE LOCAL SITE THAT WILL GRADUALLY GET REDUCED
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
