Suggest Treatment For Memory Issues

I keep forgetting the words for things. I can describe what I want but cannot remember the word. I get very stressed and afraid I will get lost when I go out. These symptoms started about 6 months ago but seem to be getting worse. Played golf and could not remember how to keep score???

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to dementia or anxiety. I would like to know your age and past medical history. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing some cognitive tests in order to exclude dementia. Consulting with a psychiatrist or psychologist may be needed.

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