Oxygen Deprivation And Short-term Memory Problems Question Posted: 06-09-07 19:23pm
On june 4th my mom colapsed in the
bathroom, we did CPR untill the paremedics
came. they rushed her to the hospital, and
she was in a coma for 2 days.
the doctors arnt shure what happened, they
said that it wasn't a heart attack or
stroke, and all of the MRI and CAT scans
are clear.
anyways, she is awake now, and talking,
she seems like her old self, exept her
memory is a little scrambled, but she
knows who everyone is, and today she read
some of her get well card.
The only thing i'm worried about is that,
if we come in and visit her, and than go
home for an hour and come back, she wont
remember us coming the first time. and
when we are talking to her she will all of
a sudden ask where someone went, and that
person wasnt even their to visit her that
day. so their is something wrong with her
short-term memory.
It has only been 5 days, and she has
improved allot in that time, but I just
need to know, will her short term memory
come back? will we have to work on it? or
will she be like that forever?
I'm 16, and i have a 14 yearold sister.
she is a single mom. and obviously me and
my sister still depend on her. I just
realy want to know if she will ever be
back to how she used to be?
According to your description your mother
might had transitory ischemic attack
(TIA). At the beginning it looks like
stroke but all symptoms disappear in
several days.
Does your mother still have short-term
memory problems?
Can you give me some more information
about your mother: medical history,
personal data (age, profession, weight,
hight, climax...) etc.
