How Can Short Term Memory Loss And Headaches Be Treated?
Hi I have a 21 year old daughter who is experiencing moderate short term memory loss with no recent head injury, but has been experiencing headaches for the past few weeks. She wants to see a doctor but her primary care doctor the last time we were there says there is nothing wrong. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Memory loss and headaches are not normal in a 21-year old. Therefore, do not believe her primary care doctor who says there is nothing wrong. You should see a neurologist and sort out her diagnosis. A brain scan would help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
