What Causes Difficulty In Finding Words While Speaking?

My 65 year old friend told me on the phone that since this morning she can not remember certain words in every sentence. While she talked to me she tried to find words , like : locations, cities, places she went today and could not say the word. She wanted to wait to seek professional help tomorrow , could that be too late ? Thank you !

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

A transient ischemic attack, or a ministroke may cause such issues, so, it is better for your friend to get evaluated medically ASAP even to exclude these conditions.

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