i recently had a period of about 1 hour
when i could not remember anybody's name.
this happened as i drove home one
afternoon from a friend's house after
working on her computer for about two
hours. i had no other symptoms that i know
of. i was aware of my situation and was
able to drive normally, my co-ordination
was fine and had no apparent weakness
other than my hands being slightly shaky
due to the situation.
my blood pressure was fine when it was
checked the next day and i also had my
thyroid and diabetes checked. my doctor is
stumped. do you have any ideas?

It is possible that this episode of lost
memory is an organic result of the normal
process of aging. Don’t worry; I forget
names all the time. If you are truly
concerned, you might return to your doctor
and ask what types of specialist s/he
might recommend for temporary loss of
memory.
