Hi,
Thanks for asking query on HealthcareMagic.

Bistolic is a betablocker while verapamil is a calcium channel blockers. Frankly speaking both of them have no assocairtion with memory loss.
You are 67 go for a MRI brain initially to rule out possibility of Age related dementia or any other pathology like alzhiemers etc.

Revert back with report.
Thanks
