I am 71 years old (female) and recently I have been forgetting names of things and peeople. If I leave it alone I eventually remember. I also feel as if I am stumbling sometimes and am slightly unbalanced. I guess I fear Alzheimers ... and also worry I may have a brain tumor.
His understand your concern. Prime symptoms of Alzheimer is forgetfulness or amnesia. It is like unable to remember or register new events. Recent memory affect the most. Remote memory can affect but occurs after long duration. If you have problem in remembering thing in day to day activities then need to assess mental status.MUSE means mini mental status examinations tool is very useful to screen if it is available on net. If Alzheimer dementia diagnose then need to treat in early phase for better outcome.it can be treated with medicines like donepezil or semantic etc. Consult neurologist for further assistance. Thank you. Get well soon. Happy to help you further.
