What Causes Recurrent Seizures In A Person With Short Term Memory?
I had a seizure and was hospitalized for four days because of it. I am having a lot of difficulty thinking and my short term memory is poor since the seizure is this common? I don t have a follow up appointment until four weeks from now and will be off from work until then but I don t like how I am feeling.

Hello.
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
First, yes, after seizures one does develop some memory issues.
However, these usually improve over a period of time.
As the person improves, only the duration of seizure is usually not recollected.
I would have liked to know which medicine you are taking, and since when.
Some of the medicines given for seizures also have such symptoms.
However, these symptoms take some time to develop, usually.
Please update us on the information requested.
Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
