Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Had GI Bleed. Anasthesia Used During Procedures Caused Memory Loss. Solution For Short Term Memory Loss?
I ve noticed at the end of the day in the evenings that I cannot recall much of what happened during the day. I can recall one or two events, but not the rest of the day, the contexts, the duration of events, etc. This is the second time in the last two weeks that I have notice this phenomenon. Preceding this experience, I suffered a GI bleed and I loss a significant amount of blood - my hemoglobin dropped to 7.5 from a normal of 14-18. Post endoscopies and colonoscopies, the anesthesia used had some memory loss side affects. However, I am two weeks out now and I am experiencing this short term memory loss. Any thoughts? I go back to see my physician in a week.
There is no mention of age or gender...
Loss of memory for recent events is usually due to atherosclerosis - narrowing of blood vessels to the brain...
Neurological examination and/or MRI; MRA may be necessary.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
