Headache, stress, insomnia, or forgetfulness are sequelae of childhood meningitis?

Ask ‌
Doctor, I want to ask about the consequences of meningitis. The thing is that when I was only 6 months old, I had meningitis, which has been cured. But I see now and then I still have headaches, stress, insomnia, only remembering 5-6 years ago and now, I don't remember much. Sometimes I don't remember anything at all. I don't know if the phenomenon of headache, stress, insomnia, or forgetfulness is a sequel to my childhood meningitis? Are these signs okay? From time to time, I get angry and can't control what I'm doing. Please help me, thank you doctor.
