A member asked:

After a weekend with memory loss an mri showed i have poor circulation in my brain. what are warning signs of future extended memory lapses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Link?: Memory lapse...Mri showing poor circulation? Doesn't sound linked. Plain mris don't really show "poor circulation" as such. Could you have had transient global amnesia? Consider seeing a neurologist if you had a prolonged period of amnesia.
