What Medical Condition Causes Lack Of Concentration And Forgetfulness In A 50-year-old?

I’m 50 years old and in good health. I’ve always been able to perform my job duties well and even though I’m not the sharpest tool in the drawer I considered my self very capable of learning new things, but recently I haven’t been able to concentrate and stay in focus on new assignments. When reading or speaking with other people I forget things right away and I feel like I’m a dream. I started taking ginkgo Biloba and it help me for a few days but it stopped. I keep making simple mistakes at work that I never did before. People are starting to notice. Can you help?

Hi,

Please don't worry much about it. It happens due to many reasons.. First of all be cool n calm. At the age of 50yrs. Just ensure that all your vitals (Blood pressure, blood sugar, weight - BMI, CBC) are in healthy range.

These symptoms might be due to nutritional Deficiencies n also due to overstress lifestyle. Some multivitamins & minerals, iron +Folic Acid supplements for 100days shall be helpful. Also, Healthy lifestyle modification & diet will be good for you.

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

Regards,
