Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been having trouble reading smoothly, I seem to jump ahead of my reading text at a faster pace than what my mind can compute. I seem to start adding words to complete the sentence, typically finding that the added text is not accurate and I then have to re read the text slowly.. I don t know if that s a sign of something mentally going on? I m now 52.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think this is any symptom of something mentally going wrong. It is just that you are in a hurry to finish what you are reading. Please do slow down. Be Mindful. Calmly read each word, understanding the meaning of each sentence, as you complete it. This may be a bit difficult in the beginning, since you are used to reading fast. With a little training, you can do it, and all will be normal.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
