Long Term Memory Loss

My husband fell and hit his head and we went through MRI, CT, EEG and those results came back fine.
but it has been 3 months and he is experiencing long term memory loss.
He also has taken a cognitive test and the neuro says that the memory losss could have not been from the fall.
We still are waiting on the reuslts from that test.

Can anyone help me at understanding what this could be???

Thank you, we will wait and see what the results say from the test at this point the neurologist and the neuropsych just don't know what it can be. he's only 39.

Thanks again and i appreciate your advice.

Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine him, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about his health concern.

He needs a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment. Most common causes of memory and concentration impairment are excessive stress, psychological reason, recent head injury, certain medications, hormonal imbalance and Alzheimer’s disease (if he is in old age). I would recommend you to see a neurologist who can evaluate the details of his case and could better determine the insight of his situation. In the meantime, suggest him to do some meditation exercises (eg. breathing exercises), have a balanced diet and avoid stress. Hope this helps. Take Care & Regards.
