What Causes Poor Memory After A Stroke?

default
Posted on Wed, 4 Mar 2015
Question: I suffered a stroke 6 months ago and following a period of rest, recuperation and physiotherapy I have made a good recovery and managed to go back to work (as a secretary). I seem to have trouble remembering peoples names and my mind is not as quick as it used to be.

Is this a result of the stroke and is there anything I can do to help things improve?

Brief Answer:
Could be related to stroke.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. I am pleased to note that you have gone back to work within six months of stroke.

Your current problems such as forgetfulness and slowness of mind could be related to stroke. If you have an old MRI brain report, please upload it here.

Also, please mention all your current medications.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
