What Causes Slow Memory Loss?
My wife has been forgetting simply daily things for the past 3 years, with each year more and more. She woke up this morning and could not remember what day it was and could not recall what we did the night before. Through the day things slowly came back but still foggy. She doesn t drink or do drugs, she is 49 yrs of age. Mike

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
These could be early signs of dementia. If her mood is normal, in that case, she needs proper assessment by a neurologist. May be due to some reason, she is getting dementia. In that case, she needs proper neurological assessment in form of CT scan or MRI scan. Better to consult a neurologist as soon as possible. If you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
