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.
