Does anyone here deal with receptive aphasia?

I had a really scary episode this evening.  

I have been having a lot of trouble with speech lately, but at least I kmow what it is.  Tonight, at our religious meeting- I suddenly couldn't understand anything (I just learned this is called receptive aphasia).  And of course, I wasn't able to communicate either.

This problem, hearing speech-but with zero comprehension, has only happened twice before this evening.  Is there any treatment?

I guess there have been times when I have asked people to repeat their statements to me because my brain was busy with something else as they were speaking the first time.  That's less scary than embarrassing, even though I have no clue how to prevent it.  I do try hard to pay close attention anymore (unlike in high school physics, where I slept through classes & stillI aced all the tests!).

I have days or hours, sometimes even minutes of what i've called "cog fog," but I am not conscious of input not being retained until sometime after the moment has passed.  Does sound scary indeed.

Let me know if you find any!  I truly understand how scary this can be!

I have the "can't understand anything" problem.  Especially when I go to the doctor's office, I went for my pacemaker check and they started giving me instructions on how to use this gadget and I just sat there, nothing they were saying was sticking in my brain..  

anyone else run into this?
