HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without knowing the brain pathology it can not be treated, loss of memory may not be pure form of cerebral pathology, but it could be due to age only because in this age cerebral atrophy, exercise is best instead of taking some kind of medicine. If I would be doctor of this case then I would send for CT of brain, with complete work up hope this information helps.
