I was working out at the gym, just lifting some weights and then the next thing I remember is laying on the exercise mat. I did not pass out but I have no memory for about 45 minutes of my day. Then about 2 hours after being at the emergency room I got a really bad headache. Can that have caused my memory loss even though the headache came later?

Q: Can you have memory loss, then a migraine and the migraine be the cause of the memory loss?

Have you been diagnosed with Migraines? A really bad headache isn't necessarily a Migraine.
Memory or the time during a Migraine attack can sometimes be fuzzy, but this doesn't really sound like that.
Did they perform an EEG at the emergency room? This loss of time could have been some type of seizure.
If you haven't already, you need to follow up with your regular doctor. If your doctor is unsure, please ask him to refer you to a neurologist.
Good luck,
Teri

Hello,
I was interested in your question because I have had memory loss and everyday its a hit and miss on how bad it wil be. I dont have any answers as to why you passed out,but I can ask a few questions to tell you from my experience. Like what kind of headache was it afterward? what did the doctor say happened? I have had headaches since I could remember as a child and as i get older its gotten worse. I just want to let you know you are not alone take care, MARIE.
