What Causes Problem Of Retrieving Certain Words While Communicating?
Hi, my husband and I are both going to be 72 in a few weeks. We both are having a problem retrieving a certain word when communicating with each other. We take multi vitamins and also extra B. (among other supplements). Both are treated for high blood pressure. It is getting worse for both of us at about the same rate.

The inability to find words requires further investigation by your doctor. Sometimes, strokes/mini-strokes can cause these symptoms.
