Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary episode of memory decline or loss. If onset occurs just when patient is out of home, he may not be able to get home for several hours because he cannot remember the home address. Patient's immediate memory and long-term memory are good and patient has clear consciousness during onset. Patient can do complex daily activities, such as eating, dressing, making phone calls, and driving car. Symptoms generally last a few hours after onset then patient fully recovers memory capacity. However, experience during the attack cannot be remembered, thus forming a "memory hole". If you have transient global amnesia, you should see you doctor to examine whether it is caused by other more severe problems.
