Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Sudden Slurred Speech And Memory Loss?
My daughter, 52 years old was making dinner when her conversation was jumbled, she handed a torn tortilla to her husband with raw turkey. He recognized something was very wrong, yet she did not remember any of this. She does not drink, smoke or do ant kind of drugs. She is having irregular BP READINGS like 190/175.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
She might have had a transient ischemic attack. Consult a cardiologist or emergency department. Go for an ECG to rule out any cardiac pathology. Her uncontrolled irregular BP is one of the reasons for such attack. Take proper treatment before she suffers another attack.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Rohit Kothari
