What Care Should Be Taken For Cognitive Impairment And Memory Loss In A Patient?
my husband was diagnosed with cognitive impairment and memory loss 4 years ago...he had been put on metoprolol several months prior to the time we started noticing the changes...He couldn t remember short term but could long term...His mother had alzheimer s and we thought it could be because it is hereditery. He didn t really have much of a blood pressure problem but when he went to the Dr. it would be up some but at home it would run normal most of the time...I really don t think he needed to be put on BP meds.

Hello,
The blood pressure of your husband seems to be unstable.
Before to decide if it is necessary a treatment for this problem or not, a correct evaluation is necessary.
In my opinion, a Holter monitoring for 24-48 hours (cardiac activity and blood pressure) is necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
