Have full neuro: Workup and exam. Due to your respiratory issues, you may have suffered from an anoxic brain injury. I would recommend seeing a brain injury specialist to run you through a battery of neuropsych testing to find any deficits and discuss the possibility of a neuro-stimulating medication and therapy to help you deal with these memory issues. Hope that helps!
