Short Term Memory Loss After Heart Attack
Posted: 07-24-05 14:11pm

For the 2 posts regarding this, did either of your parents gain their short term memory back? My mom has no short term memory and the doctor felt it was from lack of oxygen during a heart attack. She had started losing her memory before the heart attack we knew of, so maybe she had a heart attack we did not know about because she lived alone before. I don't know if I agree with his diagnosis but was interested to hear about other patients losing thier short term after a heart attack.
Again, curious if their short term memory got any better, thanks.
