I am a 61 year old female. What would cause temporary confusion, and memory loss? This had happen before, with me not being able to remember the date, my birthdate, things like that. This morning in church, I had two different sermons going on in my head at the same time and was very confused. This has happened before and lasts about 4 hours. Please help

Hi..Can understand your concern..As per your query about cause of temporary confusion and memory loss that it can be onset of dementia which can be a age related change.I suggest you to get your health check up for any vitamin deficiency,blood pressure,blood sugar levels and lipids profile etc as these factors can also lead to temporary memory loss and confusion.Do relaxation exercises like yoga and meditation.Take vitamins supplements.Take adequate and a sound sleep at least 8-9 hrs daily.You need to consult a neurophysian or a neuro psychiatrist for proper evaluation and medication.I hope the information helps you.Take care
