What Causes Memory Loss Along With Aphasia?

After A major spinal surgery and I was back to my old self within a year. Unfortunately I had a nasty fall and I went into shock. Since then I have trouble with memory and I cannot get my words out at all when I try to speak. I take the prescribed medication daily: 1 amitriptyline, 1 omeprozole, 1 aspirin 75mg, 2 Adcal-D3, and 1 Bio-Vitamin cap. Normally I have a healthy blood pressure but I had 6 Epistaxis within 3 months three of them were cauterised in 2013 but recently I have been getting nose bleeds a week and I have managed to stop them. I had a Memory test 2 weeks ago and they said my memory was quite good for my age of 82 but they so they have made an appointment to have an MRI brain scan to find whether I have had a stroke. I am really beginning to get worried. I would be grateful if you could give me your opinion.
