What Causes Forgetfulness, Headaches, And Slurred Speech?
I have had an inner ear canal infection that I have meds for but I have also been experiencing forgetfullness and when im talking I stop and say what was I talking about. Im only 20, I usualy never foget stuff or cant concentrate like that. I usually just think about 1 topic at a time when im telling someone something. And Im forgetting my friends name or if Ive meet someone before or what ive done that day. Also im very tired, not sleeping as much, headaches, slurred speech and feeling sick. Whats wrong with me?

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to psychological stress. Anyway, considering your past medical history, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a brain MRI in order to exclude a possible brain infection, related to the inner ear infection. It is also necessary checking thyroid hormone levels for possible imbalance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
