[21M] Experiencing memory loss and blurry vision

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible causes for your symptoms include:

• Stress or Anxiety: High levels of stress or anxiety can sometimes lead to both memory problems and vision disturbances.

  • Treatment typically involves stress management techniques, therapy, and in some cases, medication.

• Migraine: Some people may experience memory problems and blurry vision during a migraine attack.

  • Treatment usually involves medication to relieve symptoms and prevent future attacks.

• Neurological Conditions: Certain neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis or a brain tumor can cause memory problems and vision disturbances.

  • Treatment depends on the specific condition and may involve medication, therapy, or surgery.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and other conditions may also cause your symptoms.

What you can do

It's important to seek medical attention to get a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can:

1. Keep a symptom diary: Note down when your symptoms occur, what you're doing at the time, and any potential triggers. This can help your doctor make a diagnosis.
2. Rest and hydrate: Make sure you're getting enough sleep and staying hydrated. Both can impact memory and vision.
3. Limit screen time: Spending too much time in front of screens can strain your eyes and potentially contribute to blurry vision.

What you should look out for

Seek immediate medical attention if:

• Your symptoms suddenly get worse
• You experience other symptoms such as severe headache, difficulty speaking, weakness on one side of your body, or loss of consciousness
• Your symptoms are affecting your ability to carry out daily activities
