Asked for male, 55 years old from Kolkata

My mother is eighty years old. Lately, sometimes she is forgetting what she said two/three hours ago and jumbling up things. Sometimes in the evening she is saying that she has told us certain thing in the morning which she did not say. Otherwise she is fit, roams about in the house with ease, does some cooking and family work and physically and mentally fit. She does not have sugar or pressure. She also seems to acknowledge the fact that she is sometimes forgetting and jumbling up things. Long ago she was diagnosed with heart disease but for the last 22 years she is o.k. Although she takes clopitab 75 mg tablets and stator 10 tablet regularly. Is this an old age problem or she needs some treatment? If yes, then what medicines should she take?

Talk to a neurology specialist and get a full examination done. Patient send to have senile memory loss issues. Probably could be alzheimers or parkinsons if patient has bradykinesia and tremors.

Asked for male, 39 years old from Thane

It's for my daughter, she is 8.5 years old. She keeps forgetting her studies. What she learns a week back, the following week she forgets. But what she sees on television all that dialogues everything she remembers. She is born and brought up by me alone. She does think about her father, she is lost at times in tution, i've got this feedback from her tuition teacher. I need a good medicine that I couldn't give her, kind of a memory booster, or to gain interest in studies .i'm too much worried about her studies.

This is not uncommon in children. Balanced diet with nutritional supplements is advisable
it is expected that the true picture of patient is presented as a 8.5 years old girl usually doesn't have pcod.

Also make sure you spend some time outdoors in the fresh air and interact with people. Keeping your mind and body active will help you to recover faster.
Take care.

Memory is really easy to cement one just has to use the right way. There's this ebbinghaus's forgetting curve which explains how one forgets things. This can be managed.

Asked for female, 21 years old from Hyderabad

My mother is 45 years .from past 2 years she is facing the problem of forgetting few things happened in the past and also she became so weak. We started using some medicines like ativan, salon,cita, kefive and also even consulted homeopathy but she is unable to come back to normal and even some side effects poped out .one of my family member suggested it may be due to vit b12 deficiency should I consider it and take a test ?or should I consider continuing the medicines.

please clarify whether she has diabetes, or hypertension or any other diseases for which she is taking any treatment. Usually at this age, this type of forgetfulness is not there. To me it may be due to ativan and anxiety state. It will be better if you provide more details about the patient. Also tell if there is any history of head injury. For the time being stop ativan tab. You can start tab strocit plus once daily.

Hi mohan, it is very difficult to forget someone if you are trying to forget him consciously. You should focus on your present works, like study, playing, excercise don't worry about past or future ,then after few months you will see you are forgetting your crush and you will grow as a better person.

That is a common problem bhai. Yeah aapke akela kaa nahi hai. Sabka problem hai. Iske liye koi medicine nahi hoti. Interest aur lagn se padho aur
usse baar baar padhte raho, means revision karo. Yaad rahegaa. Samaj mein aaye. Yeh karne ke baad bhi yaad nathi rahe, tab medicine denge
1-2 mahina try karo babuva.

I am facing trouble with memory. Very frequently I am forgetting things and not able to recall. Many times it happened like I forgot stuff within few seconds. One recent incident, I was listening to one audio and it was about english literature. Audio was of 6-7 mins duration and by the end of audio I forgot the details mentioned in the audio. Was not able to recall even one sentence.

You might be suffering from the b12 deficiency. B12 deficiency can cause short term memory loss. Chek your b12 levels and start taking supplements.

lybrate-user g. These are the common problems at this age due to degenerative changes in brain like atrophy. The condition is called as senile dementia. There is no specific treatment for this. Only you can give supportive care. Better to choose ayurvedic treatment for support as allopathic treatment can harm due to many side and adverse effects.
Treat them as a child, don't expect. At this stage of life they only need your love and care. Don't get irritate try to understand.
