Hi all. I’m looking for some advice or similar experiencing following a heart attack and a noticeable difference in cognitive impairment please. I had a STEMI last August and returned to a relatively senior job in January. I noticed I was not completely with it to begin with but thought this was down to not being in work mode for 5 months. I am since realising it’s something more significant - I can’t remember what I’ve said and agreed with my staff, repeat myself and am forever apologising for feeling like an idiot. I was initially blaming the meds. It seems like it’s getting worse now although it might be I am just more aware. I will speak to my GP but just wanted a sense from others. I know there is medical evidence of brain function loss but I daren’t read how significant this is. Thanks v much. Chris
