Get examined by a neurologist for detailed investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Forgetfulness and tiredness at this age needs evaluation.
You need to get examined by a neurologist.
Blood investigations like blood sugar, vitamin B 12, thyroid profile, renal function tests and liver function test should be done.
Blood pressure should be measured.
Brain MRI may be required after examination by a neurologist.
Any history of headache, ear discharge or hearing abnormalities?
All these not related to head injury or fall.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
