These are the previous posts that describe my symptoms:
" frequently feel "out of my head", like I'm unable to concentrate, have difficulty talking (slurring) , difficulty focusing, and often feel quite dizzy. For example, driving to Wal-Mart this past Sunday, I began to feel this way. While in the store, I had to really concentrate on walking, talking, thinking about what items I needed. At the register, I felt like I was going to just 'plop down' on the floor. My daughter said that I looked pale in the face. It almost feels like my head and eyes are swollen, but they're not."
The only medicated I'm on is Atenolol in an effort to minimize my Arrhythmias. What makes me wonder about this toxic enceph. is that I have just realized that when I first starting having these problems, about 7 years ago, my best friend and I began a cleaning and painting business. Is it possible that a combination of paint fumes and cleaning products could cause this?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Toxic encephalopathy is a form of permanent brain damage which is characterized by short term memory loss, anxiety, depression and diminished brain functioning.
It is more commonly seen in railroad workers due to exposure to solvents.
Do you have any of these symptoms?
