What Causes Poor Memory Along With Headaches And Dizziness?
My father has become increasingly forgetful over the past 18 months. He is a totally different person. He speaks in general terms and is not able to hold a conversation. His long term memory is good. He was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last March but I don t think that is the cause of all his problems. He also complains of headaches, dizziness and he has fallen several times in the past year when getting out of bed. Should I have him evaluated for dementia?

Yes sir for sure,,it may be an early sign of dementia or Alzheimer..so you should take him to a neuropsychiatric to evaluate his condition probably..
