What does short-term memory loss mean?

Transient amnesia, which is mostly considered to be a type of seizure, is a type of disoriented petit mal seizure, usually seen in children. Patients mainly show a sudden onset of a transient loss of consciousness, usually lasting from a few seconds to tens of seconds, patients can experience a sudden cessation of activity, objects in their hands suddenly fall to the ground, call out and stare blankly, but most patients do not fall. If the patient occurs frequently, antiepileptic drugs should be given for treatment, commonly used drugs are clonazepam and ethosuximide, and at the same time should be given to improve brain metabolism treatment. It may also be a manifestation of pre-dementia, which is usually seen in elderly people over 60 years old, and patients may suffer from memory loss, inattention and disordered thinking at the same time. Drugs to improve cerebral metabolism, such as olanzapine, piracetam and cytarabine, can be applied, as well as drugs to improve blood circulation, such as suxamethonium and vinblastine, which may slow down the progress of the patient’s condition.
