Suggest Remedy For Short Term Memory Loss, Headaches And A Bad Taste In My Mouth

I had an event about a week and a half ago. I apparently put my head in my hand, said oh no to my husband and then told him I didn t know where I was or why. We were camping in our RV so he took me to the ER. They did the blood and urine and a c scan of my head. The only findings were low sodium and potassium. I was taking two blood pressure meds, one with a diuretic. He took the diuretic out, said it might be hyponatremia. Came home, saw my Dr., had an MRI and havn t heard back yet. I have short term memory loss, headaches and a bad taste in my mouth.

Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms are suggestive of a metabolic disorder. Hyponatremia can mimic this clinical situation.
But, I would also recommend performing an EEG to investigate for seizures.
It is also necessary checking vitamin B12 levels and iron levels, considering your bad taste.
I would like to review your MRI if you can upload it for a more professional opinion.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards!
