Tempered Tense

This may come off as seeking medical advice, but that's not what it really is. I suppose it falls more into the general knowledge category. I know it might seem blown out of proportion and/or irrational, but I recently had a scuffle with my now completely out of my life partner, and the answer (even if not what I wish to hear) would provide me with some peace of mind above all else.
My fiance and I were arguing, and the argument reached such a climactic point that he eventually had his hand around my neck, fingers pressing on my carotid arteries. I did not pass out. I was conscious the whole time, and afterward. The whole event lasted about two minutes the most (if I remember correctly).
What I want to know is if if I could have suffered any kind of hypoxia or resulting minimal brain damage as a result of this. Lately I have been feeling as if words don't come to me as easily, and concentrating or even engaging in the level of thought I once did seems all that much harder to do now. Please tell me if this is likely to be more stress-related, due to my OCD and tendency to doubt things, or possibly a result of what occurred.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in, it said abuse related, and I didn't want to slip something like this into any other forums. I am not together with this person anymore, and am seeking treatment again.
