Default Could this be Sleep Apnea?

Hello, I usually post on the Traumatic Brain Injury/Post-Concussion Syndrome forum as I'm recovering from a brain injury...however something weird has been happening lately that has to do with sleeping, waking up and memory/amnesia. Let me explain.

About a week and a half ago, I went to sleep like I normally do. About an hour later I woke up with complete amnesia. I didn't know my name, mom's name, son's name, where I was...nothing. I lay in bed for about 15 minutes and finally started recalling everything. This happened for about 3 nights straight. It even happens when I take naps. It's been a week and a half and it's starting to happen again.

Could this be Sleep Apnea?

I tried to get my neurologist to send me for a sleep study but it's a new neurologist for me and he wants to do an MRI, EEG and blood work first.
