What Causes Poor Memory?

I'm having problems remembering things - nothing serious, but I've told my husband some time ago,and have told my doctor too. It's silly stuff - like seeing something new and finding out that I've seem it many times before - worries the heck out of my husband. I have a followup with my doctor in January and do not feel that anything has gotten worse - just the same old stuff. I'm 80 and feeling fine except for the memory loss nonsense. What do you think???????

Hello,
It would be good for you to address this with your doctor. Memory loss can be mild and not serious or more serious as in the beginning of Alzheimer's disease. See your doctor as soon as possible for exam and testing.
