What Causes Short Term Memory Loss While Bereaving The Loss Of A Son Post A Head Injury?

I have had a strange experience that happened about 10 days ago. I can only liken it to amnesia . I seem to have lost a month or so. Just had put a 55 yr old son to rest who died on Dec 3rd, 2017. Memorial service was Jan. 14th..which I rather grazed through. About all I remember after that is a feeling of being semi-conscious, memory loss . I hit my head on an end table and stressed my neck, which had been broken a few years ago. I am not myself, for sure. What do you make of this? Lots of dests done: blood work, EKG, CT, etc. Started with new doctor and husband took me to Emergency where they kept me Sun afternoon, then was told to go home and to see my new doctor in 2-3 days. We are seeing her at 3 PM today.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As all tests were done and nothing was figured out, psychologically, the problem could be due to stress and anxiety related to your son's demise. Don't take that incident along with you. Just leave it as past. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.

Good luck.
