Is A Tendency To Say Things Repeatedly Indicative Of Alzheimer’s Disease?

My boyfriend is 52. I am worried he has symptoms of pre-alzheimers . He takes sleeping pills and stress medication regularly and I have read they have side effects relating to alzheimers. He has a tendency to tell me the same thing over and over again. He also can remember things from 20 years ago in excruciating detail.

Hello,

It can be a sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

An MRI scan is required to rule out central causes. Drugs like donepezil can provide symptomatic improvement.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
