Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Memory changes occurs with increasing age.
Regular exercise, antioxidants rich diet and involvement in mental activities helps in improving and preserving memory.
Vitamin B 12, vitamin A, omega 3 fatty acid supplements may help a bit. Other drugs for dementia are available like Donepizil, meantime, Rivastigmine.
Evaluation by a neurologist is required.
Blood investigations like Vitamin B 12, thyroid profile, renal function test and liver function tests should be done.
