Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and you would require evaluation to find out the reason for forgetfulness.

Mild forgetfulness may occur at this age, however, it should interfere with daily life.

Investigations would include MRI scan of brain, vitamin B12 level and thyroid profile.

There are good medications available to treat these problems.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
