Brain Fog & Short Term Memory Gone

[breakingbadhabits]

I have been freaking out because for about 2 weeks I am having some serious brain fog and my short term memory has been shot! I cant remember what I am supposed to be doing when I walk in a room or what I just finished doing 3 seconds ago. My wife could tell me something and It would not even register with me until the 3rd or 4th time. I went to the doctor who gave me a quick neurological test and said everything was okay but possibly a sinus infection.

I don't know how this could be anxiety related as anxiety didn't start to set in until after I started feeling these symptoms. Once the symptoms started I went into anxiety overload and had a couple of panic attacks thinking I had a brain tumor or early onset of some neurological disease. Ive tried resting and getting to bed early but nothing is working. I feel like I am completely stoned and my brain is just fogged up. Does anyone else experience this issue?

Did you have an anxiety disorder already? And maybe these new symptoms triggered it to flare up?

I've certainly had your symptoms, and seen & talked with plenty who also have, and at times I would have brain fog in these periods or feel out of it.

I get brain fog periodically, but completely forgetfulness not so much. I definitely exacerbate things with anxiety but I'm not sure how to treat it. Doctors wanted to me try Zoloft but that made me feel awful
