Memory Loss with Seizures

by LogRil, Nov 08, 2007 07:43AM
My husband had a seizure a month ago.  He is 33 years old and his first seizure and only one before this was 16 years ago.  His MRI and EEG were fine, thank goodness.  He is suffering now from short term memory loss, I am so concerned.  He is going to the Neurologist next week, but I am freaking out now.  Is this a normal side effect of a seizure?

My 16 year old daughter had a grand mal seizure on Saturday, she also is suffering from short term memory loss, from everything im reading, this is normal! Is your husband also very fatigued? Dizzy? She hasnt had a MRI yet, it will be two weeks before they can get her in, Im scared to leave her alone! No one knows what caused it yet, that means I cant do anything to prevent it. I know what you mean about freaking out!!

Hi,

How are you?
Yes short term memory loss is common after seizures due to dysfunction in the hippocampal area of brain.
