From Paul Mealing
Your article may have resolved a personal mystery. I’ve had several episodes of transient global amnesia (TGA), in which short-term memory is disrupted. The first was triggered by jet lag, but the second was more curious.
I was in a concrete-lined room and there was a diesel machine working nearby, creating a strong, resonant, unpleasant vibration. I felt like I was going to faint and had to sit down.
It was only later that day that I developed TGA symptoms, yet I felt they were triggered by that experience. I’ve been very wary of strong vibrations since.
