Ok so I got a bad concussion about two years ago, can this cause memory problems?

Q: I was knocked out for 8 minutes if that helps. The reason I’m curious is because I used to remeber everything, and now I can’t. I don’t remember most things from when I was a kid, or even a lot of recent situations. Help!

It wasn’t until after I started taking the drug that I actually remembered something on my own.There are drugs out there that might be able to help you with your memory as well as prevent a faster decline. Between those drugs and trying to work your brain as much as you can, you might be able to see an improvement.Go see a neurologist who is an expert in brain injuries. They should be able to get you on track the quickest.
