Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Forgetfulness In Elders

My mom is 73 having chest pain in center of breast and is forgetful. She just moved and takes care of my 96 yr old gramma. As I m talking with her 20 min or so she has told me 10 times like brand new and can t remember the year? She has been over stressed and over exhausted. Could this be serious?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .

I think it a matter of concern . I need more information on this .

Is the forgetfulness present only while taking or it can be noticed in her work too ?
Does she forget only recent things or even old things ?
Is there any other change in her behaviour?
Is there any history of Dementia or Alzeihmer's disease in your family ?

Kindly revert back to me with these details . I think she is in the early stages of Dementia . Some of the causes of dementia can be easily treated . So I advise you to consult a neurologist and get evaluated for the same .

Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.
