Should I Be Concerned About Sudden Memory Loss?

Hello! Recently I have been more forgetful and it s increasing. I forget what I was going to do or do something else instead. for example I went to the washroom to wash my face but came out brushing my teeth at middle of the day. sometimes I lose track of what I was doing. Mix up words too. for example I probably wanted to say the food is in the fridge but end up saying in the mircowave. should I be concerned?

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

First of all, you should do some investigations, such as measuring blood pressure, lipid profile in the blood. If they were normal you need to take a vitamin B complex, Thioctic acid, benfotiamine and folic acid. Moreover, you should change your lifestyle, for example, you should stop smoking, drinking and eating fat-rich diet. If you do not respond to these measurements, you should ask a neurologist for further direct investigations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
