During medical procedures along with anesthisia they also frequently give you a dose of medicine designed to cause short term memory loss while the drug is in your system. This is done to reduce trauma and normally only done on patients who are partially conscious at the time of the procedure. \n\nIf you have suffered memory loss that extended much beyond the procedure then you should be concerned about your medications first and start digging into other causes next as this is not a normal reaction.

Memory lapse is known as Dementia in medical terms.Most common reason for Dementia in older people is because of a disease known as Alzheimer's disease.Another important cause is vascular dementia (stroke and related conditions).General medical conditions and Substance induced (Alcohol) problems are also some common causes.There are a long list of causes including Picks disease, Parkinson's disease, Vitamin B12 deficiencies,Hypothyroidism, Uraemia, heavy metal poisoning,electrolyte imbalance,.......

If you use hypnosis to recall forgotten events you can actually create memories of things that did not happen.  It can be very dangerous unless done by truly knowledgable and responsible professionals.

This question cannot be answered with a definitive yes or no.  It depends upon the trauma endured by the person.  The brain reacts to severe trauma which impedes short-term memory.  The brain will shut down normal processing functions as a measure of shock control on the body thus erasing the person's short-term memory to a point right before the trauma was occurring.  The person will remember events up until say 15 minutes before the trauma and then sometime later after the trauma has occurred, but not the actual event itself.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no... I believe that a lot of pro-sports players will permanently lose a segment of memory of the event that caused a concussion. Amnesia can also be due to stress / shock - so you may get that memory back when you deal with the fear that is blocking the memory.\n\nSo: answer = it depends on what caused the damage, and how severe the damage is, and how good your body is at fixing itself.

That is something you should be discussing with your doctor.  You need to provide him/her with all the details, and have tests run to find the cause of the seizures and memory loss.

Sedatives can often cause people to dream or revert to earlier stages of his life. It's probably those pain pills. Ignore it, just try and make him as happy as you can. If he doesn't remember you, don't be insulted. Just remind him gently, and make things as easy for him as you can.\n\nI'm so sorry, kid. I lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer when i was in seventh grade. it was horrible. i can only imagine what you're going through.

The 60 minutes show you were refering to talked about the use of the chemical propranolol.  Propranolol's normal use is is that of; a beta-blocker, antihypertensive, antianginal, and an antiarrhythmatic.  I believe this medicine should not be used off-label for "memory erasion."  I dont even believe in that anyways.  There are 1000's of other chemicals that could be used in the situation of a post-traumatic event.  MDMA, methylene dioxy-methylamphetamine showed great promise back in the 80's of alleviating these post-traumatic memories and stressors.  The government thinks differently though, and it is now a schedule 1 substance.  I personally think that an anti-hypertensive should not be given to a person with potentially no hypertension, in some hope that it will block memories.

No. My brother was in a coma, and is just as sharp minded as he was before his stroke. Amnesia causes memory loss.

Yes, Ambien was prescribed to me and my doctor warned me of memory problems, including what you're experiencing. Oddly enough, I don't remember the experience...lol, and Im not just teasing, I really dont. I took it for a month but it didnt help me to sleep very well or it gave me nightmares or something. But he said something specific about short term memory loss. Like forgetting where you put your keys, what you said in a conversation, etc...where you wont forget things like your parents or childrens names, or who you are...etc. Good luck! Also, maybe try just plain Ambien, not the CR. What that does is release all through the night making it impossible to sleep off all the effects of the drug! J

Your dosage and right intake of Ambien will probably not give you any such side effect as memory loss. That is a rare adverse effect of Ambien ( Lorazepam) and usually occurs only in patients, which take the highest possible dosage of it, or they are at the same time on other medications, such as SSRI antidepressants.\nHope that is of help.\nHave a great day!

Sure.  In fact, the problem with recovered memories under hypnosis is that you can be hyponotized to remember anything, whether or not it actually happened.

nitrous oxide is a mild anaesthetic\n\nwith all anaesthetics there are 4 stages of anaesthesia.\n\nthe first of these know as stage 1 occurs in the period after first administration of the anasthetic. before the patient goes to sleep,  during this phase an individual may experience disorientation excitation or uncontrolable laughing\n\nstage 2 the individual is semi consious\nstage 3 the individual is unconsious and suitable for surgery\nstage 4 the indervidual is inapropriately deeply anaesthetised and unless action is taken will die\n\nbeing a mild analgesic and aneasthetic nitrous oxide tends to only achieve stage 1 or 2

The anesthesia will make you vomit. If you vomit while asleep you could aspirate it and die.
