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
