[|Human|] I have a friend who says she has salty taste in her mouth along with extra saliva.  She also has noticed 3 episodes of forgetting where she is as well as a bit of soreness on the top and side of her head. She has been recommended to see a neurologist.  What cab these symptoms mean for her?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted the symptoms in your friend. Episodic loss of memory can be seen with TIA-transient ischemic attack (which occurs due to lack of blood supply to brain) OR seizures (due to abnormal electrical discharges in a part of brain). She would require MRI brain and EEG for further evaluation and confirmation of diagnosis. There are good medications available to treat both these conditions. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
