I am 35 yrs old and it will be 1 yr in October since I had my heart attack. I am suffering from similar memory issues, I have little to no short term memory now. At first I thought I was going crazy but after researching it I have found it is a side effect of going without oxygen. It s eels to get a little better but I am working on it daily. Good luck to you and your father.
Yes over time his speech will recover, but not always fully. Sometimes speech impairment remains when they are stressed or tired, but I get that way at times too. My mother and my wife both recovered fully with their speech. Someone has to keep having conversations with them, using their functions aids recovery. I had relatives visiting regularly so talking was done in shifts.
My friend had a heart attack, unfortunately he is out in cyprus. He seems to have got over that but has lost the ability to speak and is just staring into space. he knows his daughter and has written her name down. He had a scan and the Dr said some brain cells were dead. Will he recover his speech and get back to normal?
Hi! my name is Guera and im just here toa ask a few questions to any one...if you could help that would be great well thanks!
Assuming he is still in the hospital it would be real simple to have a neuro and psych consult and go from there.
it could be side effects from medication hes on (pain killers, or sedatives).. Explain your concerns to his doctor, and if nessecary there are many tests that can be preformed to see if there is any kind of brain damage or deminished function.
