I am pretty sure lung function doesn't effect memory. Also pretty sure aging does.

Thank you

There are many things that can affect your memory, the natural aging process being one. Some meds are said to cause "brain fog", as does stress. The only way I can see that copd would effect memory would be if you were suffering from a lack of oxygen. Over time, I could see where that could possibly effect memory. This is a good question for your doctor.

I personally blame chemo brain, been almost 6 years, but I'm only 62, so I have chemo brain

Maybe antidepressants..

[Feelingblessed2013 in reply to Hidden]

I think that might be something to look into
