Does anyone know anything on short-term amnesia?!


Question: Does anyone know anything on short-term amnesia!?
I was with my girlfriend the other day, and to make a long story short, we got in a fight!. I started crying and I keeled over onto the ground and passed out!. When I came to, I didn't remember the last couple of hours!. I've consulted my doctor, and he says that it's not unheard of to fall unconscious at the peak of emotional stress!.

Two questions:
1) Is this normal!? Has this happened to anyone else!?
2) Is there any way to recall what I've forgotten!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
so this retrograde amnesia could be caused by a traumatic injury-is possible she hit you on the head!? um no just kidding but if it was due to a traumatic injury you could not recall those memories because there could have been a failure to encode the memory from the short-term memory into the long-term memory in which case the memories are just not there!. but if it was due to a psychological problem as your doctor apparently suggests then it's possible you are repressing these memories and maybe they will just come to you some day or you could try to recall the memory under hypnosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
