Hollie-
I have some of those problems during my episodes. I have problems with memory, dizziness,slurred speech, and I have sleeping problems as well (I moan and stop breathing). sometimes I don't even know where I am! I think you should get checked out, insist on an MRI, and tell us your prognosis... but also, don't panic. Some of these things could be part of the CH, combined with your teenage hormones.
The medicine is probably Verapamil. I am on it as are others on this site. You can find quite a bit of info on it on this site alone.
You have three things to do:
1. don't panic
2. insist on an MRI
3. keep in touch with us, we all know what you are going through and this site is great medicine.
take care!
