[|Human|] I had back surgery (S1 decompression) in November. I returned to work Jan 5. I am ha-ving difficulty at work....trouble thinking, concentrating, making mistakes. I am having daily frontal and top of my head headaches. I am making stupid mistakes at work that I would have never made before. Even at home, trouble following recipes, etc. They used propofol for my surgery. I don t think that is it but I am getting scared. PMH includes HTN, GERD, asthma. I should mention I have been having problems with my asthma and have been on high dose prednisone for the last 6 weeks, but the pred never did this to me before. I am 52, 5ft8in, 190 lb.
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is not likely that the anesthetic medications would still be having an effect after a few months. You mean need to be assessed to determine the cause of the difficulty concentrating, headaches. It may be due to:(1) a side effect of one of your current medication, (2) vitamin deficiency, (3) mood disorder such as depression(4)lesion in the brain(5)infection(6)dementia relatedYour doctor can assess and determine the cause. I hope this helps
