I have a lot of difficulty with concentration and learning new things. I don't know whether it's the BP or the meds, or some combination of the two. I used to be very inattentive in class when I was in school but got better in college, probably because I was older and wanted to be there. But now I don't seem to be able to retain new information.....that's why I lost my last job, there was a steep learning curve and I just could not handle it. It's really frustrating! I used to be a voracious reader and now I can barely get through a magazine article.
