Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that you could be having certain neurological deficits, and might be an indicative of Alzheimer's disease.
Before concluding that you are having Alzheimer's disease, you need to be investigated by means of neurological examination and certain tests like CT scan and MRI.
Based on the clinical findings and investigative reports, a proper diagnosis can be made and treatment for it could be instituted.
Kindly consult Neurologist at the earliest for complete assessment and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
