Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Headache

I had back surgery (S1 decompression) in November. I returned to work Jan 5. I am ha-ving difficulty at work....trouble thinking, concentrating, making mistakes. I am having daily frontal and top of my head headaches. I am making stupid mistakes at work that I would have never made before. Even at home, trouble following recipes, etc. They used propofol for my surgery. I don t think that is it but I am getting scared. PMH includes HTN, GERD, asthma. I should mention I have been having problems with my asthma and have been on high dose prednisone for the last 6 weeks, but the pred never did this to me before. I am 52, 5ft8in, 190 lb.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is not likely that the anesthetic medications would still be having an effect after a few months.

You mean need to be assessed to determine the cause of the difficulty concentrating,headaches.
It may be due to:(1) a side effect of one of your current medication,
(2) vitamin deficiency,
(3) mood disorder such as depression
(4)lesion in the brain
(5)infection
(6)dementia related

Your doctor can assess and determine the cause.

I hope this helps
