Suggest Treatment For Frequent Headache And Memory Loss

I am having frequent headaches, sometimes severe, have been easily irritated and my memory has failed me at certain times like going to grab the phone and trying to remember what for within the seconds from wanting the phone for something but as soon as I grab it I forget and takes me what seems like a minute or so to remember as I am staring at it.

Hello,

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, headache with another nervous system or brain symptom such as memory loss is a reason to have a brain scan. It could be a serious condition like infection, bleeding, or increased pressure in the brain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
