Neurological examination urgently.
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
There is no doubt that she must visit a neurologist in person urgently to get her physically examined because sudden disturbance in memory and other cognitive function,surely must be an acute process.She may have to undergo a brain imaging scan.Its important to rule out any abnormal neurological sign on physical examination.
Even in strokes,sometimes,patient may present with isolated signs corresponding to the small regions of the brain involved.
I shall be glad to have you in follow-up with further questions.
Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
